Front timing cover oil leak

[cptcrush]

My 2017 Raptor started to develop burned oil smell some time ago. I took it to the dealer to have it inspected. They came back with a leaking front timing cover. This is a big job and I am lucky to have it covered by Ford's extended warranty as my truck has 75K on it. I was curious if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

Sorry to hear about your timing cover leak. I have an early build 2018 and the timing cover leaked at just over 4,000 miles. Had it repaired at the dealer and the timing cover has been good ever since. They even managed to get the plastic pan to stop leaking on the third try.

My 2018 with 40k just had this fixed this week. Hope it stays fixed...haha

Mine was delivered brand new with a crack in it, so I got you all beat! I had it back in 2 days, the dealer did a good job with the repair. No issues afterwards, and they cleaned it up really good because they are aware I'm super **** with my vehicles.

My 2017 had the same thing. I noticed losing 1 qt every 5k and was able to visualize the leak and fixed under warranty.

My 2019 had it too at 30k miles. Funny thing is I took it in for the ac leak on the passenger side floor and the service tech misunderstood leak and went looking for an oil leak. Found both the oil pan and the timing cover leaking.

I hadn’t noticed a thing??

Sometimes a slight leak can end up dripping on the exhaust and rarely make it to the ground so there is nothing to see where you park. If you don't sit much in traffic you may not smell it either.

My 17 had a timing cover leak at 91K so Dealer "fixed" it and the motor blew 18 hours later. LUCKILY, I have the
Ford $0 ded warranty. I'm expecting them to take 2-3 weeks to install a brand new motor...

My 2018 has an oil leak now. It’s 45 days past the three year warranty with a whopping 16,300 miles on the odometer. Fingers crossed.
