I have a 1991 4door LX Escort and it leaks everything but tranny fluid....and now has a rough idle and the exhaust stinks(like it burning old gas). I'm hoping it is bad gas.....it just started this a week ago. The master cylinder leaks between the reservoir and the cylinder.....looks like a bad o-ring on the reservoir. The Oil breather tube gasket (on the block) leaks oil......luckily I removed what little rotten gasket it had with silicone...seems to be better. That thing is a pain just because its behind the exhaust manifold. The A/C lines leak right at the condenser connectors (might be leaking other places I can't see). The coolant light goes off and on all of the time and it has plenty of coolant...probably a bad float sensor. My question is where can I get these gaskets without having to special order at Ford..if they even have them? Does anybody know where I can get these possibly aftermarket?

I had to replace the oil pan gasket myself and I just went to my NAPA store and they ordered it in for me. I think you can even do it on-line
