Re: Oil Pan Weeping
After about 7,500 miles mine started accumulating oil in the same area. It got bad enough to start "marking its turf" on the driveway. Took it back to Sunset Ford (selling dealership) and they cleaned the exterior surfaces and put dye in the oil to see where it was leaking from. I was afraid it was the bed plate, but it turned out to be the rear main seal on the crankshaft. They had to drop the tranny, transfer case, and fuel tank - took about a week. I guess that's better than having to pull the engine, but still a lot of work.
No more leak and that area now stays completely dry and no oil film. Thank God it was under warranty!
