Called dealer made appointment for them to just look at the leak & take pictures Then they have to contact ford for a OK to order parts . Bring it back in for replacement if ford gives the OK .

happened with me for three times in just 7K Miles, replace by ford dealer under warranty but its not a good solution.
one time its caused to me a bad steering control, it was too dangerous.
Kindly if there is any replacement for the standard one from ford??

I was curious if anyone has had issues with the CCD suspension. I hadn't found many threads about repair/maintenance for CCD.

Well thats pretty acceptable to me. I expect struts at 50-75K on every vehicle I own. They are a wear item and wear out just like tires and brakes. Those poor seals can only take so many strokes until they leak their oil out.
