Default Substance on top of motor 3.5 eco 2017
Opened the hood today and took the cover off the motor just to give it a clean up before winter and noticed this pink/white substance on top. Any idea what it is? should i be concerned?

Would normally be from coolant. How's the level in your reservoir?

Double posting is a bad way to start the day. Open your thread in one area so it's easier for people to answer and later search for help.

Not normal, I would take it to the dealer so they can tell you it is though.

Car wash soap. Figured it out last night.
Scott91370. Please forgive me. Didn’t see the other section of late model f150s. Thank for your assistance though (the reason I came to this form)

I hope I didn't come off wrong, it's just it does get confusing when you have a couple of threads with the same topic/info.

I hope it is just the car wash soap and not coolant. It does look a little to red for coolant to me. To be honest, I would have tasted it.
