Why does oil leak when engine turns over?
When your engine turns over, there is an oil pump inside the engine that is being driven by the crankshaft. It is creating pressure by pumping oil throughout the engine. Most will achieve around 40 to 50 lbs. If there is a problem with any of the lines or gaskets in the system, it will leak when there is pressure. Try to locate the leak by washing the area that's leaking and watch it as someone turns the engine over. Most leaks of this sort aren't too hard to fix.

There is no way for grease to be in your oil for your expedition. There are no "grease-able" part on your engine or transmission for that matter. You are probably seeing either gummed oil or perhaps you are having a head gasket problem that is allowing water into your oil. This would make a mixture looking slightly like mayonase in your oil pan and engine. With as many miles as you are describing in your car, it is most likely the case that there is just some build up of sludge from inferior oil breaking down and 'sludging up'
