What the hell, does the oil line feed into the windshield washer nozzles or something lmao

ford recently released an SSM for the orings for the oil cooler adaptor, which is diffrent than the hose recall. still, sucks it happend.So much for this pertaining to earlier production models. Picked up my 2018 R a week ago from out-of-area dealer and had the less than wonderful experience of an oil cooler line failure while driving home on the interstate. It began during driving rainstorm so did not realize that oil was leaking until had stopped raining and saw that smoke was pouring out the rear. Upon stopping saw that puddle was quick forming underneath the vehicle and oil was burning on the engine block. Couldn't tell what exactly had failed but seemed to be near the front left, which has turned out to be the oil cooler line.
Needless to say, extremely frustrating to have to deal with this and the fact that the entire underside and rear bumper, trunk lid, etc. was just covered in oil. Doesn't seem to be any motor damage, no doubt due to the 10 quart capacity and deep pick up.
Again, just extremely disappointing that this continues to be an ongoing issue that has clearly not been fully resolved.

I drove mine back about 550 miles from an out of state dealer, and it was the most enjoyable 550 miles I have ever driven. (It also might have been the quickest 550 miles I have ever driven, but that was not intentional ... it just sort of happened).This is the nightmare scenario I have rattling around my head if I were to drive a car home from an out of state purchase.
