I need some help. The smell of burnt rubber (maybe oil?) has been pretty strong for the past month. I opened up the engine and was able to find where the smoke was coming from and took some pictures. I added arrows, but need help identifying the problem. I am taking the truck into the dealership and wanted to identify the problem before they try to take me to the cleaners. Any help would be greatly appreciated. New to posting, but not new to the forum. I always appreciate the insights on here. You guys saved me a ton of money over the years with upgrades and troubleshooting.
- JY Picture for orientation purposes. See next picture. The circular, yellow piece is where the smoke is coming from.
I'm not too familiar with 3.5 ecoboosts, but it looks like the oil supply or oil return tubes or the gaskets and seals leading to and from the turbo might be leaking.
