1300 miles oil leak.

[Houston Kid]

Better picture. Haven’t tried to push towards diff, too early. Will try when I wake up more.

Looking at the line below and left, they appear to be the same amount out and that one is not leaking. Maybe the top one sees a higher pressure?????
Considering two cars on here are leaking in the same manner, tells me something is wrong with the design/install. I am guessing there will be many more if two have the issue on this small sample size.

Trip to dealer went as I suspected. They looked "yes it is leaking we need to order this part". It will take four or five days. I had them top off the the oil. I have a big piece of cardboard to put under it.

Exact same experience. The part they ordered was the same in the thread, they’re also replacing the line.

I might hazard a guess... aren't Harleys considered 'a rolling oil leak'? I am just shootin' in the dark here...

It depends. Mostly on vintage and luck.

Two of the three of mine that are currently fully operational will mark their territory; they both have open crankcase breathers, which is most of it. The third is a V-Rod which has never leaked anything in the 13+ years of its tenure (knock on wood).

Can someone tell me exactly where that potential leak is? I am taking my car in to the dealer on Monday and I would like to tell them what and where that fitting is? Thanks.

Lawguy 85 has a great picture of the leak. Its's the return line from the differential cooler that is leaking on my car.

I wonder if the leaking has anything to do from where you are located.
Maybe places like Texas and Arizona that are hotter now are experiencing the leak first?
My car has been mostly driven in 40’s to 60’s degree temps

I haven't driven in anything over 70 either and no leak (I keep checking )

 

[Madtel4]

It been cool 70 or less. The temp gage runs about 150 is a s high as I have seen it. But I have not driven the car because of the leak.
On June the 16th I am going to RMMR In Colorado. I hope it is fixed by then. I have a bad taste about this. I am not sure this is the car for me. I don't track the car and don't need the coolers that may prove to be a pain in the back side. I wish I had my 2018 GT PP1 and a boat load of my money back.

No leaks for me I keep checking now too

I know having an issue on a new car sucks but don’t let this get you down. It can be fixed. I don’t think this is going to be an issue long term. Probably just one bad seal on the line and once replaced you’ll most likely never think about it again.

Your right Thanks.
The thing is they have had this problem from 2017 with GT 350s. It time to get it fixed or at least stock the parts to fix it ASAP.

Interesting I didn’t realize this had been an issue before. Maybe someone in the aftermarket has a fix if the dealer doesn’t solve it for good?

 

[DarthMalice]

Ugh...haven't seen any issues on mine yet knock on wood but thanks for the heads up. I don't have a lift or anything to really look under the car so I will be looking for the tell tale drips.

I just stuck my phone under the car and use the facing camera, pretty easy to get to.

Update: Just got off the phone with my dealer, I had a 1 PM appointment today to get the leak fixed but no part. The part is back ordered with no ETA. The parts dept. then ordered a part from a Ford dealer someplace and was to be in Monday. I want to go out to the shop and remove the adapter and see if the O ring can just be replaced. I wont for now its probably best to let Ford fix it under warranty.
