I'm making an educated guess only that it was from the head gasket. It is very difficult to see anything under there, especially when the car is on jack stands. Everything is very tight. What I can tell you is that I do not think this was from the main. Gravity still applies and there wasn't...

Actually I did end up telling them and took a $5000 hit for it. I didn't go into details about my own findings/suspicions, but told them that it had been to the dealer for the leaks and that Ford deemed everything as seepage. They drove it with me in the car, and inspected it. I ended up...

I wanted to thank you all for your advice. I didn't win this one, and ended up trading this vehicle in. I am losing sleep over this because I have a conscience and there is a good chance someone is going to pick this up off of a lot and end up with a problem. I called Ford customer service...

Pretty clear that their service advisor doesn't know how seals in turbos work. He had nothing to say because I pointed to my 6.7 Dodge outside and told him I own 2 diesel trucks, neither turbo leaks a drop (one is a 7.3 Powerstroke). I'm going to throw a UV light on it tomorrow and try to find...

I'm actually surprised no oil has been dripping. The oil has soaked the bell housing at the inspection plate. The oil leaks at the turbos aren't as bad, but I still wouldn't expect to see oil leaking from those at all. This thing is definitely burning oil as well. I've been on the forum for...

They won't even attempt to get Ford to approve the work. They are telling me everything is within Ford 'specs and guidelines'. They have mentioned on several occasions that if they send the parts to Ford and they don't deem them defective they will be charged for the work. The service...

Well, it looks like Ford and my dealer are leaving me hang out to dry with my Explorer. They are holding steadfast that the oil leaks from the turbos are acceptable and that everything else is seepage. They also claim that a quart of oil missing in 5000 miles (on a vehicle with 12,000) is...

The quart in 5000 is actually about 4500 and had been roughly a year since the last oil change. I'm estimating obviously, but it's very close. I spoke with the salesman who is related to the owner today and possibly made some progress. They are still using the 'seepage' terminology which...

I read the entire warranty guide as well? Are you saying I missed something? Thank you for posting it. That was the first place I went back and read... Service advisors words were (get ready for it...) "in spec via Ford standards". Right after those words he proceeded to tell me that if he...

Zero evidence of leaking. It's not dripping from the vehicle, it's just enough to soak the bell housing. It was low on oil however, which they cannot explain. The engine is "using" nearly a quart in 5000 miles.

Oil cap is 100% in tact and tight. Nothing running down the engine at all. The dealer specifically stated that they couldn't identify where the oil was coming from (for the larger leak on the bottom) and that they put the dye in. It wasn't "showing it's ugly head" was the exact term used in...

I've got a 2013 Explorer Sport with about 12,700 miles on it. I was recently changing oil and discovered several oil leaks. The largest has completely covered the bell housing right at the inspection plate. Now to the other... Both turbos are leaking oil. I've also got a leak starting on...

The only thing I am unsure of at this point is the connector to the ballast(s). I don't know if they are using the same connector. I'm going to go to a local dealer and test drive a limited with HID's so I get a closer look. All together, I can do the factory HID install for about $275...

I am familiar with the part number issue. After some more digging, I tracked down the exact duplicate for the factory bulb (A Phillips HID) for $35/bulb. The ballasts are also available, but seem to be a bit more pricey. I plan to pull my headlight assembly off of my Sport and see if there is...

So now I'm curious. I went to the online Ford parts fiche and started looking at the differences between the headlights. See the photo below. I can't claim to have seen the OEM bulb or ballast, but the headlight part numbers are the same (obviously) and all equipment was the same. The only...

Here's my question on this ordeal. Has anyone looked at, or better yet have pictures of, the Limited's OEM setup? I'm not just talking about the bulbs, but the location of the ballasts, wire looms, clips, etc? I am very interested in putting the HID's in my 2013, but I like to keep things as...

This probably shouldn't be my first post here, but I took delivery of my 2013 Sport on Saturday. It stickered at $47,970 and I paid $42,695 before my trade. I also got them to throw in a set of the all weather mats. Hopefully this info may help someone. I looked all over the place when doing...
