2007 Mountaineer found antifreeze Leak easy repair.

I would find a small amount of antifreeze on the ground every morning. I found the problem, it was the overflow container it had a small pin hole from rubbing on the clip where it locks in to place. Here is a picture.

Use some 3M trim cement and a phillups head screw, less than $10.00 fix and no more leaks.
