- 2014 Ford Explorer XLT
Hello,
I need some feedback on a fluid leak I have noticed on our 2014 Ford Explorer (XLT AWD about 86K miles). I have heard much about PTUs leaking, and initially I suspected this was happening to our Explorer too.
I went under the vehicle today and saw oil pooling predominantly along the split line marked in yellow in the attached photo. There has been accumulation and drips coming off the circled bolt. The PTU itself doesn't seem like its leaking. Has anyone seen oil pooling in this area, and is this in fact a PTU leak?
I believe the first picture shows the bottom of the transmission, and the label has these characters on it: RFBT4P 7006 AA. Again, areas where oil seem to collect are marked in yellow in both pictures. Unfortunately I already wiped things down so I could try to determine the origin of the leak.
Thanks for any insight.
