Seems like a lot of seal related issues started in the 2015 MY.  Was/is a huge black eye for Ford on the Edges - body, oil pan (plastic), and even TC housing ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I wonder if they used a new variation/recipe of silicone sealer. 🤔 It sucks tho. Never been a fan of these split case  style transmissions primarily for this reason. Otherwise they've proven to be pretty stout and reliable overall.

Good question.  In the case of the Edge (no pun intended lol). They blamed it on improperly programmed robotics, resulting in improper application of the sealant.

I wish they would limit this kind of error to hood and trunk lines lol.

Still haven't taken mine in... it's a drop or so every few days...

It's on the list after the first...

Mentally readying myself for the complete lack of warranty dude to mods...

Gonna find out soon!!

Yea. I'm gonna take my back to stock before I take it in. Minus the lowering springs. Hide everything I can.

Yea... the days of being able to run the stock programming went away with the turbo upgrades. But with an auto octane tune and an E30 tune.. its not a big deal at all... and the seal leak is most likely a factory defect as I don't see anything I have done causing it..short of the torque mounts transferring more vibration to the trans..

But for now.. the FiST is just too much fun.. a week in and its already tuned and upgraded.. all I need now is an upgraded IC and I have maxed out the stock turbo setup.. weeeeeeeee!!!
