Oil leaking from somewhere but not engine

Here are some photos from underneath while vehicle was on a lift. I have an appointment next Monday. Earliest ford would take me. Any thoughts? 2020 ST.

I can’t tell where that is. Just make sure your oil level is okay before you drive it. I personally wouldn’t drive it if possible.

It’s definitely not coming from the engine. Confirmed not coming from the drain pan. And engine oil levels are good. Photo is taken from middle of vehicle and close to directly underneath the center console.

Transfer case maybe?

Has to be a seal leak with the transmission or transfer case.

FADA (front axle disconnect actuator) leak. Covered under the powertrain warranty. They replaced the seal on mine (2020) not long ago at 28k miles. They noticed when I got an oil change and suggested I bring it back. A couple of weeks went by and one morning I spotted some oil on the ground. Took it in and they replaced the seal.

Just got a diagnose for my 2021 model - FADA leak it's past the warranty, 110k+ - fixing it is labor intensive and they quoted $3k. Sucks.

@Cdubya and I have done a leak fix on our own.

I traded my last ST in due to to a number of issues, but the FADA leak was one. They gave me paperwork with the break down, and the actual part that needed replaced was $4... they quoted nearly $4,000 for the job due to the "book time."

The o-ring is $4 and what causes the leak. A large chunk of the front has to come apart to replace it. If you can do it faster than “book time” I’d suggest going into business and making a killing.
