Add me to the oil leak group

[Jayrod]

Nothing is feeding it oil. It’s a lip seal; its purpose is to isolate the internal engine components from the external components. So essentially keep oil in while keeping dirt/contamination out. The inner part of the seal has a tapered lip that rides on the crank snout and keeps oil from wicking out of the front cover. If the seal is not square with the crank, it will essentially be an oval sealing surface and a leak path will develop.

Thank you.

I plan to drive to the dealership tomorrow. It’s not far away maybe 10 mins.

I had a small amount of oil like 5 dots. Do you think it’s ok to drive it?

Yes, it's OK to drive it.

The article I posted should give you a better understanding of everything.

Yes, a few drops it not a concern.

Update. The service department ordered the seal and the tool they need to perform the work. Its eta is April 1st. I spoke with the mechanic, he said it’s an incredibly minor leak and that I can drive it but to check oil on gas fill up and is sending me with some oil just in case. My dealership here is a really good one so I feel good about.

Man, please keep a diligent eye on that oil until this repair is done.
Good luck.

Drove it all day yesterday and not a single drop on the ground, checked the oil and nothing gone. He did say it was minor but I’m checking it every single day several times. Only a few weeks until they have the part and tool.

Good to know this is a simple fix and not the cam phasers of ecoboost hell!

Seriously? You just got banned under your new username. And here you are making a fool of yourself using the old one. What is your mental health disability?

I was thinking the same thing about you. You have been warned before, bye.
