Try talking to the service manager, or dealership manager maybe.  Else take it to another dealership for look-see.  Still no good?  Talk to Ford National Customer Service to escalate the issue.

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!

And I suppose they thought oil in the intake piping was normal?

Yes, they said it was normal to have a little oil in the intake tubes. I know differently, there should be no oil at all in the intake system. This it more then likely a blow by issue. I guess i'm going to have to play hardball with these yahoo's.   

Is there another dealer you can go too?

Did you happen to show to them that video? That should be proof enough!

I'd wager that just inherent to design, there will be oily residue throught the intake tract, downstream of the PCV system or other vent systems, if present. However, an oversaturation is obviously abnormal.

Might there be another dealer to try?

Looks blueish to me..

But if you could rule out as excess fuel by smelling it, it'd get you closer to a diagnosis.

Yes i did, i showed the video to the service writer, the service manager and the tech that's working on it. Honestly the tech doesn't know his his you know what to a hole in the ground and i don't believe he is knowledgeable enough to make a diagnoses on my car, funny because he walked me over to a non ecoboost flex this morning and wanted to start it up and compare it to my flex and i told your comparing apples to oranges, but he just didn't understand. there are other dealers, im in Los Angles.... but this one is so convenient for me

I just had a simple question to rule out,there is no oil catch can setup in your car that you know of,perhaps from the previous owner.Z

Sometimes that is where the better tech's are that know how to actually diagnose without a computer code to guide the way. ;-)
