Another Explorer ST issue...
Front/left driveshaft seal has left the party, still under warranty... More concerning is what appears to be a crack in the engine block...

Re: Another Explorer ST issue...
They had it up on a lift at the dealer yesterday. That crack is actually an area of rough casting & a shadow caused by the camera flash. Mech wasn't sure about the leak, he cleaned the oil off & asked that it be bought back in after 1000 miles or so. Roomie has to go the Tucson tomorrow for a few days so that will take care of the 1000 miles.
They replaced a seal last June & the mech thought the oil was actually grease from when they did that repair... but was unable to explain why it wasn't there when the oil was changed back in October..
