Was just changing my oil 7500 mi and was looking around with a flashlight, and noticed that the truck has what appears to be an oil pan leak. Nothing on the floor but it's very obvious. I saw something on you tube about it. Just wondering if anyone else here has had a similar issue. If so what has the dealer said about it. I change my oil every 2500 myself so this is the third oil change since new and the first sighting of the leak. Plan on addressing this at the 10000 mile service.

You are wasting your money changing the oil every 2500 miles. Synthetic oils are very good today. 7000 is when i do mine and have had it analyzed a few times and all is good.
The oil leak is sorta common (maybe 1 in 20 on 17's?) the dealer will pull off and reseal

My analysis said almost exactly the same things as @Toadster, right down to the ‘push to 7k next time’.

FYI, your dealership should treat this factory defect as a way to get you a free oil change under warranty. I did not pay for this oil change and they have been instructed to always do full synthetic on my truck. A little surprise for the holidays!

I’ve been considering procuring a spare pan and drain plugs. The latter are cheap and available but the pan can sometimes be a chore to get in stock. Then, you have to wait for them to install the daggone thing and for it to cure.

I haven’t noticed the leak but this appears to be a fairly common issue on the F150 across the platform.

I NEVER thought I would see you type that! First step for you in recognizing denial!

I just did my second oil change, (10,000km or 6000miles).

Disappointed to say my pan is definitely leaking. The bolts have oil and the pan is wet.

I am considering leaving it until summer?? Do you think there is any risk to this?

Naaaa. No more risk than if you were bleeding continuously and decided to wait several months to see a doctor.

(Hint: Your truck's motor oil is its blood.)
