I recently purchased a 2015 3.5L eco boost and noticed a little oil on the ground. But it doesn’t look like it’s coming from the engine. But a little further back on the driver side on something else. Any advice or anything I should check. Thanks
There are cooling tubes on the back of the engine that route coolant to the turbos. These tubes have O-rings where they connect to the block and the turbos. When they first start to leak coolant, it will look somewhat like oil or transmission fluid. It's hard to see them, but you can check by looking through the back of the passenger side wheel well. The tube is metal. My '13 started seeping a little at about 130,000 miles. I was having a similar look under the truck and noticed I was slowly loosing coolant. Didn't seem to leak while driving, but eventually got to the point that you'd get a small puddle of coolant after parking. Just a thought on something to check.
