Crawled under to checkout skid plates as I want to add to the OEM FX4 stock plates and noticed oil leak. Any ideas where it may be? I do have appt with dealer.

Looks like fresh oil on bolt for driver side front sway bar, drip with some dried/dirty oil, and spread of dirty oil under the engine skid plate.
I couldn't see where they were coming from but if I can go armed with info to dealer, would be helpful TIA...

no leaks on mine so i cannot help. think maybe the last oil change had some when the filter was dropped and its running down there?

or maybe the oil filter has come a bit loose and is leaking? that recently happened on my 03 ranger. at 225k miles, its never leaked a drop so i immediately noticed it leaking spots. traced it to the filter and reached down to turn it and it was loose. really odd

I had a small leak on my front diff. Caught it early so all was good when they fixed it.
