problem #1

Jan 112019

Escape SE 4WD 2.0L I4 Ecoboost

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

When I was crawling under the hood checking my coolant level, see another complaint of mine, I noticed a smell of burning oil. Upon inspection, it appears to be leaking oil from the valve cover. If it weren't only 3 years old and have only 47k miles it wouldn't be as big of a deal, but seriously? Can't build a motor that doesn't leak all over itself after just a few years? Since the thing is going in for a coolant issue in a few days, I will have them check this out too. I will update when I know more.

Update from May 22, 2019: Turned out to be a front axle seal replaced under warranty.
