2017 Expedition XLT. 107K miles.
I had the oil changed a couple weeks ago and since have had two road trips. When I got back this last weekend I got a slight whiff of burning oil smell when I parked in the garage. I didn't see anything at the time, but put a piece of cardboard down under the engine to check in the morning. Sure enough there was a silver dollar size oil stain. I took it to where I got the oil change from to have them check to make sure everything was tight. The pulled me into the bay where my truck was hoisted and showed me the drivers side turbo. It had a fine layer of oil over the casing and then you could see oil pooling up at the bottom of the turbo and then you could see where it had been dripping onto everything else. The truck is under a Ford extended warranty, so I took it to Ford this morning. They just called back and said after looking it over, they notices the oil possibly leaking from higher up; that it is unusual for turbos to show an outside leak when there is no indication of an internal leak (which they said they checked for signs in the piping and found none). They said the dipstick was loose and they saw evidence of oil spillage from there. I explained that the oil was just check that morning and so if the dipstick was loose it happened then, not weeks ago. They are going to degrease the turbo casing and then want me to bring it back after a couple hundred miles.
I haven't experienced a loss of power, but I don't know what other signs to look for. Are there codes that will be thrown to indicate there might be an issue with a turbo?
