2013 Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost problem

[[Jacky.C]]

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, not sure this post is in the right section or not, but I would be appreciated if anyone could help.

I found a rectangular foam sticking out from the front towards the engine under the bonnet, anyone has any idea where is it suppose to be?

Moved to focus section for you.

Do you have a picture?

This is the foam that I was talking about, does anyone have the same problem?

Apart from the foam, I just noticed there are other problems as well

1) the tap seems to be falling off, should I re-tape it?

 

2) there is some orange colour sludge/sticky oil on the parts, is that due to leakage or just normal dirt?

 

Would be be appreciated if anyone could help! :)

Picture 1 : No idea where that's come from. I've had a look under the bonnet of our Ecoboost and can't see anything in that area.

Picture 2 : I'd just trim off the surplus tape. The rest still looks ok.

Picture 3 : That's just grease that's been applied to the bonnet lock mechanism.

Thanks for your help, Mike!

The piece of foam belongs on top of the radiator / fan housing. The piece of foam has a self adhesive backing. Unfortunately as a result of heat the piece of foam often comes loose from the radiator / fan housing.

A simple solution for this problem is re-installing the piece of foam at the correct location using a contact adhesive.

Thank you JW! Would you mind showing me the location?
