He had an idea what it was but didn't have time to look but said regardless he would have it taken care of considering I've only owned the truck a week. Good to know there are still some good business people out there

I hope it works out. A 2011 with 87k miles on it- that's a lot of miles.

I have nothing against NAPA, and apparently neither does Ford. It's possible it was serviced by a dealership.

You may want to pay for a quick inspection by Ford just for piece of mind.
Questions such as, does it have the correct coolant?
Does the coolant test pass?

Your picture looks exactly like my oil leak when I found it on mine.... end result was the composite oil pan leak. Ford changed mine and all is good.

Please look into purchasing a Diesel Motor Warranty ...you can get 13 major engine componets covered up to 200,000 miles or 8000 engine hours....this is a Ford product. Shop around for the best deal.....also do this before the truck reaches 4 years old / original date of purchase and it must be done before the truck reaches 100,000 miles. I have 2011 FX4 with 105,000 miles and yes I have had issues but nothing major....I change my oil every 5000 miles and I use a Royal Purple oil filter......I do this because ....I choose to....good luck with your truck and keep us posted....

Got the truck back today. From what I understand it was the inlet oil line for the turbo ( not the most mechanically inclined) but was told it was a simple fix. Also had them look over the entire truck. Props to the service center that I took it to as this was a no hassle deal done. Anyone have any extended warranties bought on there own? Been looking around for good pricing for a good deal. Thanks again for all the help everyone

My advice is do not buy a third party warranty. Buy the Ford warranty through the dealership. Shop around and negotiate.

There are a couple of threads on Extended warranties. Do a search and you'll see some good options. I just purchased the Premium Care warranty from Troy Deitrich (sp) and he had great prices and service.
