Warning!! Check all nuts when doing oil change (for oil leaks)

[Brian214]

Warning!! If you do your own oil changes I would advise you to check all these nuts, I noticed a little bit of oil leaking when changing my Eco Boosts oil, Every nut I could get to was loose, Driverside of the front of the engine, Looks to be a timing cover.
Edit: It has been pointed out that this is the Transmission pan

Apparently not, Already heard back from the dealer that this is another common problem

It will be interesting to see, if the Ford representative will address this?

What year and how many miles on your maverick?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm planning on doing an oil change next week, so it will be a good time to check all the bolts.
Also, I'll look at the axle boots for any seepage.
At 9500 miles I don't expect to find an seepage, but one never knows.....

Looks more like the pcv cover than the timing cover but may be the angle. Either way if it leaks better check it.

Just more reinforcement that lazy Oil changes are worth the tiny time savings.

Where are these engines assembled? Asking for a friend.

One Google search says the 2.0 Ecoboost in Maverick is made in Cleveland and Spain.

Shhhhh.....they wanted you to say "Mexico" so they could dog whistle some racism without literally saying it.
