Oil leak

2020 F 150/ 50 engine/ 22000 miles. I backed out of garage this morning to find a puddle of motor oil on floor. I have had drips from shoddy cleanup after oil change but that was 3,000 miles ago.Will let dealer check Monday

Probably a warranty issue, Take it in. Spread some kitty litter on the garage floor until it's fixed.

Make sure the oil filter isn't loose before you go anywhere. They can back off with terrible results.

If it made a mess of the diaper underneath (protective shield), I would insist that they replace it. Sorry for your troubles, saddens me. I feel blessed that I am willing and able to do my own maintenance. Aside from saving money, more importantly I feel the job is always done correctly.

I worry to. My last Ford was special order F 250 with the new 7.3 gas. we drove to Idaho to see daughter and morning after we arrived transmission fluid was on the driveway. Dealer installed a front seal on tranny. Stopped at rest stop at Sheridan Wyoming and back of truck was covered in tranny fluid. a new rear seal was installed
As soon as we got home I traded for this one
