Do i have a problem here, or is this normal?

215 miles on my new 2024 350 Plat. Noticed couple things while looking under the hood at the power steering hose/clip some are having leak issues with.
1./ One of the two hoses connected to the antifreeze reservoir has no clip on it. Low pressure not requiring one or just plain missing?
2./ Spotted a lubricant mark at the black plastic cowl right neat the brake fluid reservoir. Sticky to the touch. No residue around the brake fluid cap.
3./ Just below the fluid mark (yellow circle) is a threaded hole (red circle). Do you have that not in use as well or am i missing something that's supposed to be attached there? Added another pic couple posts below this one with coloured circles.
Can someone with a 2024 take a look to compare please?

There is no hose clip on that side, you're good. Not sure about the other thing, not really understanding the ask.

I think that's a mount for something on the gas engine that goes along the firewall. I'll check when i get home on my diesel but I suspect you're ok.

The one with no clip looks like and overfill hose…follow it and see where it goes…if it’s an overfill hose…pressure is zero and needs no clip.

Thank you! No problem, glad to assist. I've asked a lot of questions and would have the same issue when something looks incomplete. There was an issue with RAM TRXs missing a bolt on a shock setup for the rear diff so there's certainly the chance the factory can miss a bolt, clip, etc. There were so many issues with the TRX they created a delivery checklist on the forum :-) Ford is no different.
