My 2003 Lincoln LS started smoking from underneath the hood and I think tailpipe. I opened hood and saw what looked to be oil everywhere. I put water in car and it still smoked. My engine temperature is ok but my oil is pretty low. But what could cause the oil to be all over the engine area underhood.

These cars are famous for leaky seals where the valve cover interfaces with the cylinder head, at the spark plug journals. They fill with oil, short the coils and cause a misfire. Driving it any significant distance can destroy your catalytic converters ad unburnt fuel ignites therein, creating inferno-like conditions and a fire hazard too. You'll get a "300 code", such as 301 if cylinder 1 is misfiring, 302 for # 2, etc. Pull the coil off the spark plug for that cylinder and if it is moist at all, that's your issue. Have new seals put in, or you'll just keep blowing coils at $50 a whack.

SOURCE: where is the port where you put freon in on a 2001 lincoln ls?

it is the one that is blue in color and has an L on it for low pressure. The vapor line is also called the suction line. If your confused, then choose the larger of the two lines near the accumulator.

The coolant must have thickened during the 3 weeks it was not used. Try adding some distilled water. Also check for slackness in the fan belt. Finally clean your air filter too .............sodeep
