Sitting at Ford. Brought all the Ring photos of the driveway spots. Started 8/5. They couldn’t find anything. Googled “Bronco Sasquatch dripping spots.” Read it aloud to the service manager and the auto tech. He comes back with another tech. They removed the cover and liquid poured out all over. If you see it. Bring it in and tell them to look at the shocks. Don’t let them look for oil or anything in the engine. It’s the shocks.

With a '22 Wildtrak, did you have the Bilsteins? If so, did they fix them for you under the recall?

Also check the front differential. The pinion seals can also start leaking. Don’t ask me how I know….

If the Bilsteins didn’t come standard on the Sasquatch package then I don’t have those. Service did submit mine under the recall. *also apologies for the poorly written post. I was trying to get this up quick while it was all taking place. I asked why Ford doesn’t let all the techs and managers know to look for this problem, and they both looked at me with “you would think they would” faces.

I'm glad they are taking care of it! The Fox shocks were the optional ones in 2022, so sounds like you fell victim to the same issue a lot of us have/had, with the Bilstein failure. One of my reservoirs just disappeared, but I got both rear shocks replaced last week with the recall.

Sometimes, it's the front pinion seal...

Unfortunately I have had my front Pinion seal done twice, once at 11,000 miles and again at 26,000 miles, they say they have no fix for the other 5 recalls yet.
