Not considered a leak , normal seepage . Keep an eye on it , if it develops a drip on the ground , then it is a leak . Covered under 5 /60 power train warranty.I know this is random, but does anyone with an ecoboost know if this is a leak/issue? I saw a picture online here (he has a big leak on left side) but look bottom right of engine, there's a long line. I just noticed I have same residue there tonight. but I couldn't figure out its leak location, or what it could be from?.
here's mine.
its super light, like I think its oil, as it had a very light film on it. im at 33k on warranty, so I should be able to get anything fixed under warranty. just want to know what I am dealing with before I go barking trying to get things warrantied or if it may be nothing/residue from something else
car drives great, no issues no codes
I think this is what you have. I have a damp spot in the same area also but it's not too bad yetI know this is random, but does anyone with an ecoboost know if this is a leak/issue?

The first photo isn’t mien, that is a Reddit post. Mines dirt dry entire left side engine.
Timing cover seepage, common on the EB motorsThe first photo isn’t mien, that is a Reddit post. Mines dirt dry entire left side engine.
On the photo bottom right.
I saw that post/thread and he had same leak spot.
but thing is, I saw a photo with the full cover pulled off, I don’t see how any leaking can occur in that area.
I mean, maybe one day I want to fix it, just not sure where it’s coming from. Timing cover gasket?
it is not caused by catch can. This is called engine oil sweat. It happens to many I4 engines. You can google it and many civic, camry, etc... have same oil sweat near timing cover area. As long as you don't see a significant drop in oil level or oil on ground, you shouldn't sweat.
Ford is Competing against my old webber nowWhat do you think is keeping the wings warm
When I had my ecoboost..had the same problem..I took the bolt out the timing chain cover..cleaned it ..it was actually under pressure causing the oil to build up in that area ..I used locktight ..never had any more issues.
