I have a neighbor who has a 2011 3.5 eco boost that has a slight coolant leak on the right side of the engine. I can't see where it it coming from and I don't have an adapter that fits the recover bottle.
Are there any usual suspects that I should look for? A coolant hose for the what looks like a turbo charger. Sorry I have never opened the hood on a eco boost so I am not familiar with what's under the hood.

 

AC evaporator condensation drains from firewall, right side.

Right side coolant leak (particularly when cold) could be from turbo coolant jiffy fittings located either end of turbo cooling lines. One line runs from turbo to behind the head. The other extends forward and into the side of the block in the area of the AC compressor. Note: there is additionally a smaller diameter oil line attached to the turbo. Turbo coolant line and jiffy fitting replacement is labor heavy.

Let us know what you find.

 

what Barry said - jiffy fittings on the turbo is a common leak area. they have O rings that would need to be replaced. I had the same leak in that area and replaced the fittings on both turbos. if you can, clean out the area and do a leak dye test.

 

It's not a/c condensation, as it does use a little bit of coolant and has to b topped off every few weeks.
Looking at the above pictures I'm not inclined to tackle this job, I'm 75 and don't want to work that hard. She can take it to a shop or the dealer.
I'm guessing at over 150K miles it's about at the end o it's life span.

 

A single data point. My 2011 3.5 was trouble free until sold at 200k+ after replacing turbo coolant lines and jiffy fittings.
