Summary
Some 2018 Escape vehicles equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine may exhibit an oily substance near the bellhousing area that could be perceived as an engine oil leak. This condition could be caused by assembly grease on the end of the crankshaft. Clean the area with Motorcraft Brake Metal Parts Cleaner PM-4-A and compressed air. Add 1 oz. of Rotunda white engine oil dye 164-TP33200601 or equivalent to the engine and road test for 10 miles. Reinspect suspect area with Rotunda pure ultraviolet (UV) black light 164-TP8695 or 164-R3748 or equivalent. If evidence of white dye is found, follow Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 300-00 for engine oil leak diagnosis.

WANJAO 100ML Engine Oil Dye Leak Detection Kit, Accurately Locate Leaks
- Superior Fluorescence Performance: Formulated with a safe formula, the oil dye emits a bright yellow-green fluorescence under light after application. It contrasts sharply with engine grease and dark parts, clearly indicating the location of leaks.
- Long-lasting Stability: The oil leak detection kit has a low odor and remains stable under extreme storage conditions, without crystallizing or separating. It can remain in the system indefinitely for long-term monitoring, allowing for easy re-inspection of repairs.
- Precise use and easy cleaning: The wearable syringe allows for precise dosage control, preventing dye spillage and accurately locating multiple small leak points. In the event of spillage, the dye can be easily removed with a special cleaning agent.
- Instructions for Use: First, add the recommended amount of engine oil dye directly to the tank or dipstick. Second, run the system for 5 to 15 minutes (or a short drive) to allow the dye to circulate and mix fully with the liquid. For systems that are not running, wait 2-3 hours for the dye to disperse. Then, dim the inspection area and illuminate all suspected leaks and seams with the dedicated light. Finally, look for bright yellow or green fluorescence in the inspection area. The glowing liquid or puddle indicates the leak. Locate leaks and repair as needed.
- Wide Applications: The product has broad compatibility; the dye circulates with the oil, allowing for leak detection without clogging or damaging oil lines. Safe for use with hydraulic oil, engine oil, compressor oil, gear oil, and transmission fluid.
