Re: 1997 windstar mysterious brown sludge in cooling system
My suggestion is not going to make much sense perhaps:
Do the lower intake gasket replacement ... include the crossover pipe. Buttoned everything up and see if the problem seems to clear up with a few flushings. (In other words: ignor the front cover gasket and water pump ... and pray!!)
The front cover and water pump replacement are terrible jobs ... much more difficult than the intake manifold. If you end up having to do the front cover later ... you will not have wasted that much effort having done the intake manifold.
My opinion.
Keep us advised on that oil sample.
