Took it back in today. Been about 500 miles since my last dealer visit. Obvious oil coming from the front of the motor. The tech decided to order the crankshaft seal and bolt to fix the leak. I will update upon completion of the job.

 

Bummer about the leak atleast it happened while in warranty.

 

if that were my truck i would fix myself...warranty or not

after watching that video: air hammer, crank bolt spec "tight", etc

 

I have the same leak on mine.

 

Parts are still on back order......

 

Probably not the case, but doesn't hurt to check top of motor for what ever crankcase ventilation these motors have...make sure everything is connected, no hose cracks, PCV valve (if it has one) is okay, etc. Also check valve covers and such for oil leak.

 

I wonder if it was just a bad batch of seals?

 

The worst thing with some of these warranty issues is, not so much the issue, but waiting for parts that are OOS. Some of those waits are substantial. If your issue is critical, that's bad news.

 

Guess it happens sometimes. Overall, been a good truck.

 

Any updates?

 

Still no call from dealer on parts in stock for repair.

 

Nothing yet??

 

The part still hadn't come in last month at my local Ford dealer. I traded back in to the dealer I bought it from with the leak not fixed.

 

Sorry to hear this.

 

What did you replace it with?
