Rant 05 XLT with oil leaks

[Dirtisgood_1984]

Well -

My brand new to me 05 Explorer (March 08) has had the throttle body already replaced due to a bad connector.

I saw it leaking fluids and took it to the dealership for an oil change. They found:

front pinion seal leak
Differential pan leak
2 real seal leaks.

Frak - I have the extended warranty, but with only 44K miles this shouldn't be happening. This make me think I got a vehicle made on a Fri night or a Monday morning.

My 1993 Volvo with almost 200K miles leaks a little fluid but not this much.

sounds like ur Ex was beat up pretty bad by its previous owner.

Seals are cheap, and it sounds like the diff pan wasnt put back on correctly. Have them fix it under warranty and monitor them.

Well - If that is the case I hope all the bugs are worked out of it quickly

Beware of things made in October...
