Ok so i bought this 2012 f250 in NY state and I had a couple questions.

1. I checked the Fram for rust n it was fine. I didn't look at the other parts until I got it home. It does have some light to moderate rusting on other areas under the engine compartment. Ex axle, drive shaft, some of the steering components. Exhaust Manifold is pretty rusty though. What can I do about that?

2. I noticed a little bit of oil, not dripping, on the underside of the front of the engine. I do have an extended warranty so i hope it will cover that. It's pretty extensive of a warranty. I took some pics of the area where there is oil. What could it be?





Most of the oil is focused around there.

Looks like the A/C compressor.
Is the A/C working properly ? Ice and cold , and cycling when the defrost is on ?
The rust looks like surface rust, from factory unpainted parts, which is common .

 

My wife froze her tail off on the way home so yes it works well.

 

Could it be a valve cover gasket dribbling? Look above the oil mess and see if you can find where it starts.
