Default 400 miles and my first problem

So I went to get in my truck this evening leaving work and noticed small stream of oily liquid on my driver side floor mat just to the left of the brake pedal.Went by the dealership and made appt.Is this more than likely brake fluid,loose fitting etc..Has anyone else seen this?2011 Screw.

There are no lines inside the cab, probably something you stepped in....

No there is definitely a bead of fluid on the break mechanism under the dash.Plus you can tell where it dripped and then run down the floormat(rubber).It's a small amount but still...

Welcome to Ford ownership some days I feel like Dr House trying to diagnose things no one else has a clue what they are.

that's a blanket statement that is not true as I have had my truck for almost 2 years with no problems.

Definitely an odd situation...

I'm taking my 2011 ECB SCREW to the dealer tomorrow for an oil leak at the front engine cover. Little does the service mgr know that I put my truck on a lift today and photographed where the leak is coming from and where it is puddling. I'm prepared to hear "Sir, we couldn't find anything"...with them cleaning the areas where it is saturated. I'm also using a grease pen on the skid plate bolts, just to see how honest they are. I've got a folder prepared for notes and names.

Overall, I've been really happy with my truck.

I'm curious to see what your leak is...

Not a clue, haha that definitely sounds weird. Hope they figure it out!

What isn't true? Glad your ready to defend Ford buddy but what you said made zero sense. I said welcome to Ford and that I have problems with mine...
