ArabianOak,
Mods?!? :nono: LOL! I kid.
Don't worry. You guys are keeping me way too busy for me to even try to keep up with which mods you have. Your dealers can handle that.

Ashley, I appreciate the offer but I'd like to give my local guys a chance first. They've been great to work with so far and I don't want to ruin that by dropping something on their head before I've talked to them about the issue. I have faith the local guys will take care of me, I only made the post to confirm that I should probably pay more attention to what I'm seeing in those pictures. They've serviced the car twice, made suspension adjustments, and we've had quite a few discussions about a gear change so I give them a :thumbsup:
Good way to handle it,,,give your guys the benefit of the doubt and approach them first. If they balk on it, bring Ashley in. If your guys come through, still let Ashley know that there are still good dealers out there. Ford corporate needs to know the good, bad, or ugly of who we have to work with as consumers.
Should I ignore oil coming out of the side of a $26k engine? How do I know that's all it will ever be? That amount of oil is an easy clean no doubt, but I plan on keeping this car until I give it to my son.
Right, maybe in private I'll tell her why I drive past one dealership to get to another across town. :cuss:
It was commentary on car technology and our expectations because of it, not whether you should be bothered by it. Relax.

My bad, it seemed like you were implying I was overreacting which I was specifically trying not to do.
I just noticed last night that I have the same weeping problem in the exact same place. Mine appears to have dust encrusted into the oil. I will make the Dealership aware of it and get them to enter it into the service history, should anything worse happen later. For now, I'm not going to worry about it.

I cleaned it off with brake cleaner. Looks good as new so I'll just keep an eye on it. The way I figure, if I have to clean it off every 12k miles or so and avoid the dealer poking around I'm good. Pulling the front of the engine apart scares the hell out of me. It really doesn't seem like a major issue, just an annoyance. I really doubt oil is going to seep through to the extent where it causes any damage.

Warranty is there for a reason. I'd say if your dealer has a good reputation, get it done. If this isn't the case, find another dealership that does good warranty work.
I hear ya, at this point I'm not sure if I'm willing to do anything about a few drops of oil every 6 months. I stopped by the dealership today and talked to them a little bit. I think they understood where I was coming from with not really wanting to take the front cover off the engine. In a large dose of paraphrasing, dude is going to make some calls and see what the possibilities are given I really want to avoid taking the engine apart. I did let him know I wasn't the only one having the issue. We'll see what we see, but I'm in the system.
As I said earlier I too have this problem. This Friday afternoon I will be going to my dealer to bring it to their attention. I really don't look forward to having the front end of this magnificent engine taken apart but I plan on keeping this car for a very long time. I will wait to make a decision on what to do about it.
I just found the same seepage in the exact spot on my car. Any updates from the OP?
Me too.....but mine appears to be coming from the next boss over, not the one on the left as in the original posters pictures.
All you guys with this problem have 2013's?
I am a 2013
Yep
