This is the underside of a 2002 F150 Supercab FX4 I'm looking at buying.

Rear axle looks like its just leaking a bit. Takes a hour or so to pull the cover and clean and then put it back together. Let the RTV dry over night and refill fluid in the morning.

For the front, cross member was hit? Four wheel drive so I wouldn't sweat it but I'm not an expert so hopefully someone else will chime in.

Mine looks a bit like that but my P/S hose weeps a little. On the diff. that could be the pinion seal leaking a bit. Of course if it had a major oil leak at one time everything that faces forward would be well lubed.

Mine looked like the first picture, turned out the diff cover was rusted through just enough to seep oil. New cover was only about $20 from AutoZone.

It doesn't look like anything to bad, like toby tough mentioned if it had a major oil leak at one time everything that faces forward would be well lubed.
