Hey guys I just got my car back from the shop and I noticed the reservoir that holds orange fluid was super low... I thought nothing of it and today I looked under my car there's some drops on the ground under the car and there's orange droplets on the hot side charge pipe??? What could this be? My intake temps were pretty hot to, more then they should have been

Is this a leak from the reservoir a bad connection in the hose? Or burst hose? I'm not mechanically inclined so I rly need some advice as I don't trust ford nor the shop

Could be a leak from a hose. Feel the hose that connects to the reservoir and look for a leak. If not maybe put some cardboard under the car and see where it's leaking from.

You just got it back from a "shop" and it's now leaking? Take it back.

Yea I just dropped it off, I'm asking because I have no confidence in them I have to watch there every move like this. It's to late though because I paid them for the work so I have to keep dealing with them. I popped the hood though and the idiots nicked the hose leading from that reservoir

Sorry to hear and hope it goes smoother for you this second time around.

Yea the hose was nicked, these idiots are useless. I can't believe I have to check the car for problems and find them... But that's the world we live in I guess. To top it off there attitudes are so nonchalant " oh wel fix it don't worry" not I'm so sorry we didn't catch that it could have been bad for a brand new engine. This isn't even the first thing not even close

Ok so they replaced that hose but iv identified some other issues... There are specks of white paint on areas of the windshield and other places, very small and not much but still wtf? The rear bumper underneath there are two straps that aren't screwed in... And in the front there is a narrow bar in front of the radiator above the crash bar and visible through the grill there are two fuses on that narrow bar at each corner for the headlights I think? Well there's a weird piece of plastic partially covering either of those fuses that isn't rly secured does anyone know what this could be?

This place is some garage huh?

This has easily been the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a business... Not just automotive speaking... This is the worst business dealing I've ever had
