The Mark pan is unique to the Mark. I do not sell them. You can call 5 Star Ford, Max will match or beat ANY price in the Country!

I'll look around here Eric... I think I saw a dude parting out a Mark on ebay.

What do you mean the oil pan let go, what's wrong with it? I've never heard of an oil pan failing in a 98.

its leaking like a syve i epoxied it and it still leaks its coming right through the pan. i have heard about 200 hundred stories of this happening and various ways of fixing it but i feel that the best by far is to replace it already.
and i would consider a leak of about 1/2 a quart a day a pretty big failure of a unit.
