Was out doing the yard and noticed a few spots on the driveway, Looked underneath and there's oil on the plastic air scoop that runs back from the fascia. Did not dismantle from there, as I'll take to my indy mechanic.

I am at end of oil change interval and not low on oil, dipstick shows right between full and add so it's a recent development.

1ags or any other Ford folks - any ideas as to diagnosis, common issues that lead to this, etc? Any info is helpful.

That's an abnormal place to leak from. Is your PcV system working correctly?

I have no codes and car seems to be running normally.

Who performed your last oil change?

Last oil change was done by a new shop since we moved.

That was my first thought, but I've done 6000 miles since they've touched it and only recently (like today) noticed a leak.

Follow up - wasn't engine oil. Had a busted right front axle seal which is evidently a common issue and easy fix.

how did it get all the way onto the top of the air intake?

Same thing happened on my wife's '13 Sport. I went ahead and replaced the CV since junk probably got in with the broken seal. Pretty easy 1 hr project.
