- 2016 Explorer Platinum
Hello:
I purchased a used 2016 Explorer Platinum with 24K miles. There is some sort of burning oil smell inside the cabin when climate control is ON and set to not-circulate setting. The smell is present when car is stopped but not when car is in motion.
The car already has Carbon Monoxide recall done along with "re-routing" of AC setting re-programmed by the dealer.
I crawled under the car and noticed minor fluid "sweating" under the transmission (pictures attached).
I showed it to the dealer and they said that it is normal to have such "sweating" of the transmission fluid. Ford does not cover this under the warranty unless fluid is "dripping". The car is still under bumper to bumper warranty.
So my question is.....Is such "sweating" normal? Was Ford Dealer correct in saying that its not covered under the warranty? Any other possible things I should look at to determine where the smell is coming from?
Thank you !
