Got Oil Leaks?? 2011 Edge Sport AWD with Passenger Side Oil Leak.

[AutoXRacer]

Hello,

 

Looking to see if anyone has experienced oil leaks in their Edge Sport...or any other Edge model for that matter.

My leak is coming from the passenger side by the front wheel.

 

I crawled under the truck and had the engine accelerated to 4,000 RPM and there are drops of oil coming out the (whatever it is) farthest pulley closest to the firewall. Oil is engine oil due to the clear yellowish color.

 

Steering is red

Transmission is red

Brake fluid is clear-yellowish-gold

Engine fluid is clear-yellowish-gold

 

As soon as the engine idles, the oil drip slows down to a slight seep.

I also figured its engine oil since the oil was a little low when I checked it.

 

Just looking to see if anyone has come across this condition.

 

Thanks.

Have not experienced, or heard of anyone else with this problem. I would suggest taking it to Ford, Should be covered under your 3/36 warranty.

Ours has this exact same issue. They are replacing the fuel line(s) and filter as well as replaced and changed the oil and oil filter (though I know it's not the latter because it happened prior to oil changes and also after). I'll let you know if it helped when we get it back and check for drips.

Issue ended up being a few things... power steering lines were replaced as well as a tear down of the top of the engine and several gaskets replaced and everything resealed. (Timing cover, valve cover, front crank seal, etc) If it's under warranty, take it in and ask them to add dye to your oil then run it for a few days and take it back. They'll see it under black light.
