    Oil Sump mate. Had a service from a Ford dealer 2 weeks ago, noticed oil on the drive 24th, and had a look under to find the Oil sump / pan totally rusted and cracked with drips coming through. No leaks before, so thinking it was well corroded before, and the drain nut has caused the cracks when tightened after the oil change. It’s a 2018 Wildtrack with 38,000 miles, so to say I’m ***** is an understatement. Dealer wants £900 to replace 😂

    Ford will pay for that sump replacement.
