[Jim Walker]

They got truck repairing now

Mangled a few brain cells reading that one.

Glad you’re still covered by power train warranty. Not sure how our timing covers are attached/sealed.

Another thing to inspect when I do my next oil change (along with CV boots & any other leak spots)!

Thanks for heads up

 

[RR - All the way]

OP does have his own style of writing...... Perfectly clear after the third read!!!
Good info; thanks for the post!

Yep - OP’s built in Cleveland & mine built in Dearborn? The redesign was pretty much everything including the timing cover, but it never hurts to check for leaks. Especially on a new design

I have a 2025 XLT AWD EB. Just went over 1K. Did my first oil change today. Same thing, slight oil residue coming down oil pan. I have the felt cover and I didn't notice any oil on it. So it's not much. Don't know if it's residual during manufacture or an actual leak. I cleaned it up and will check it again in a few weeks. It's a lot of work dropping that cover. And there's no way to monitor it with the cover on. If it's a small seep I might just leave it alone.

Got truck back today after a week missing it, ha. They delivered back and picked up their Maverick. On paper they ran a dye in oil, must of pulled mtr. Crank shaft seal, gasket, bolts , cleaners, gasket sealer, oil & filter, recharge AC, misc fluids, all on warranty

 

[nickruggeri]

Is this a dealership you can trust? From my experiences I don’t trust them to do anything. Usually they make it worse and/or create new problems. I fixed the oil leak I had myself. Otherwise my Maverick has been running pretty good with no issues. I’m happy with it.

Recharge AC? Why?

Just think of all the "Then I saw" you didn't have to read

Recharge AC? Why?

Things have to be removed sometimes to get to other things.
AC piping removed can make things so much easier sometimes - wish I had the means to pull the gas and remove it when working on something.

That's seems to be the reason
