Hi Everyone,
Our 2017 Expedition XLT 3.5L V6 with Eco Boost with roughly 90k-95k in miles. When we took the car in for some recall work, the technician noticed there was a coolant leak, and wanted to bill us for 2 hours to try to find it. We aren't noticing any overheating and the coolant level looks good, so I'm guessing this is a slow leak. I'm pretty sure I found it in 5 minutes, on the Engine Coolant
I know this forum is filled with people who know far more about these vehicles than I do. Before I start dropping money on attempting to replace these parts, I want to see if others:
A) Agree that this does look like a culprit
B) Is this the upper hose I'm seeing in this photo coming off the expansion tank
C) What is that elbow piece in the photo with what looks like a worn gasket
If possible, I would prefer to just do the work myself
