This is the E300. It is non-turbo, but does still have the piston
cooling jets. However, I do not know as they can fall off. I think
they are just a specific sized hole drilled in existing material, but
I may be wrong.
I have not detected any loss of oil anywhere, including into the
coolant or bellhousing, so I have to think that it is not a galley plug.
Thanks,
J.B.

Seems like 1995 was not a turbo year.
If a cooling jet fell off, I wonder how much
oil pressure would escape from the hole?
Another possibility (on any engine) is loss of
an oil galley plug. Happened to my Dad's 1973
Ford P/U, he left it idling for half an hour and
when he returned it was making an awful clatter.
He paid $$ hundreds in labor to replace a $3 part.
Ford was not interested in a policy adjustment
for an engine defect on a six year old truck. Dad
hasn't bought a Ford since, and never will. I was
amazed the engine still seemed to run normally after
that.
