I just took the cap off to take the cover off and forgot to put it back on for the pics, don't worry about that
I think it was always there, a week after i got it i noticed the manifold was actually really dirty (i figured the previous owner just didn't ever clean anything so i cleaned all the caked up stuff off). After a couple days of driving it all spirited like, i noticed i could smell burning oil when i was leaving the car. so i looked again and there was a little on the manifold. Just a couple drops so i called ford and scheduled the appointment i have tuesday to take it in. Unfortunately right after i cleaned it i had a family emergency to attend to so i had to drive to NC to pick up my ex, my daughter and her other daughter. When i got back, this is what i noticed. 1500 miles. It looks like whatever is burned off the manifold, is condensing on the engine cover and making it drop on the top of the cover again. It's like my own little cycle of hell considering i'm a neat freak when it comes to my cars.
