dre2142 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Hey all- I have a 2010 edge limited. I have a slow leak, and this is where its coming from, in the pics. Can anyone identify this part? Closer to the passenger side, off center of car. Not far from the oil drain plug. Nothing else has oil on it. I think this leaks mostly under pressure as Ive cleaned it all off and its not dripping right now. I also replaced a few of the zip ties, as two were one but broken. Doesnt seem to be dark enough for engine oil- more of a reddish color.Any help would be greatly appreciated! https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2810/34151678132_f6b98d89b4_s.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2863/33467816184_88a42d3f15_s.jpg Edited April 27, 2017 by dre2142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2142 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Also there is no oil splatter anywhere above this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autom8r Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 dre2142: Power steering fluid is what's leaking. Likely from the hoses. There are two. Easy to fix yourself, but messy. Normal wear item. How many miles are on your Edge? Happy trails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I hear bango music in the background. Darn power steering lines. Pricey little bugger too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2142 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Thanks all- seems to be the problem.Part 8T4Z-3A719-A Rock auto parts here: whats the difference between the Gates, Edelman, etc and the Motorcraft part- pics are different. Do I need the more expensive Motorcraft assembly, or can I get away with the cheaper ones? Looks like the Motorcraft/genuine ford part comes with a bit more to it. http://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?partnum=8T4Z3A719A Edited May 4, 2017 by dre2142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other are either unknown or 12 months. Me I would only want to make that repair once and would go with the OEM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
