[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1267688, member: 21926"] It’s going to be hard to make the case that a weeping oil pan is a safety issue. Anyone who ever owned a 70’s American car or a HD of pretty much any vintage has had this condition. I do have some exposure and experience to this type of issue. If Ford behaves like other large companies, they have a metric ton of plastic pans. Any warranty claim on a plastic pan will get a replacement plastic pan. You might be able to convince them to put on your -Ford- part, but it will depend on the dealer if they do this. The manufacturer will continue to replace the defective pans with direct replacements until they exhaust their inventory of plastic pans, then begin doing warranty claims with the new design. unless Ford actually found bad supply of pans, or their cost benefit analysis tipped the favor to the new design, they’re not just going to throw those plastic pans out, even if they know they will only last 10k miles before they leak again.
