I'm definitely going to open a case today with Ford Customer Care. Also, from the beginning I had zero intentions of keeping this car past warranty expiration.

Guys, thanks for the advice, it's hard to keep up with all the replies! I have the car back, here's the update. I had them do an oil change and the prior level was fine. I'm going to check my oil in the same spot as I did last time, tomorrow morning. As someone said, maybe there's a bit of slope...

So Tom, how would you approach the dealer on this? Is there a way for them to try and say there was no damage to the trans?

UPDATE: The service advisor texted me and said the tech says the transmission cooler went bad and they ordered a new one. seems like this has happened to a bunch of people, and makes sense based on where the leaks were on my garage floor...

I might have been off the throttle when I took that pic, honestly can't remember at this point. They've had the car for a day and a half now - haven't heard anything from them yet.

According to Ford Performance boss Carl Widmann, going to a track day won't void your warranty, only competition track use will...

The car is already at the dealer so unfortunately I can't add a quart. When I started it and pulled out of the garage for the towing guys, it seemed fine, no rough idle and no wrench warning light. Hopefully I'll hear something tomorrow but they're busy and said 1-3 days for diagnosis.

I've checked it probably 2-3 tmies and it was fine. I haven't been concerned because I've never seen anything saying the GT500 burns a lot of oil, like the 350 did. But I guess I'll find out soon lol.

I just got back from work which is why I haven't been able to reply. To be honest, the dealer changed the oil before I purchased it, around 5k miles, and it now has about 11k. So yes I realize I'm a bit overdue and the oil change light came on recently, but the engine was running perfectly and I...

Yep, I wiped it each time and checked it at least 5 times. Oil on one side only. Never seen anything like this before. Would that happen if the engine oil was really low?

Looks like it's the transmission:

That has to be the problem! I'm still slightly concerned that only one side of my dipstick shows oil. :frown:

I'm thinking you guys are probably right. Especially since there was a brief amount of smoke also coming form the exhaust area. I was going to read the codes today but Amazon delivered the package to the wrong house! :headbang: :crackup:. Wife is away also so I'm stuck lol, no one around today...

Now that you bring up the DCT, after the wrench light came on I pulled over and shut the car off for a minute. When I started it back up, I shifted into drive and the shifter light started flashing on the shift knob and then a message popped up on the dash saying to shift into park. After I did...

Hey guys just checked the dipstick again and found the same thing. One side shows oil, the other side is more or less dry:

Thanks Charlie! I'll post the code(s) tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice! Through Amazon I can get a scanner delivered tomorrow. Would something like this be good: Foxwell Scanner

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner or the ob2 connector. Autzone is less than a mile away but I don't want to chance moving this thing. So does the oil level look ok in your opinion? Luckily this thing is still under warranty lol...

So I smelled it, didn't really smell like anything, but it was clear, not oil. Wouldn't a coolant leak send the temps up though? Here is a pic of the coolant tanks, and also the oil dipstick. Looks like the oil level is ok but only one side had an oil marks on it. Is that normal?

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my 2021 GT500. I was just heading to the grocery store and started her up, and it ran a little rough for about 10 seconds or so, just sputtering, and then it was fine. As I get to the store, I start seeing smoke come from the hood. As soon as I turned the car...
