Odd hoses one leaking fluid next to battery 2.0L 2025

[Putter Boy]

I noticed tonight while looking for my Aux wires this odd hose next to the battery that connects to nothing and leaking or dripping a fluid that looks like oil but not very oily, then next to it is another hooked to nothing as well not leaking at all. ????

Anyone know what this is.....
oily. See photos attached.

Looks like a rodent problem going on but I think that is the transmission vent.

Why would it be venting at only 2600 miles?

That is the transmission vent hose. Transmission fluid will appear in that area. This is normal.

OP said there are two unconnected hoses, one being from the transmission vent / fill port but what’s the 2nd unconnected hose?

After some research it is the front differential vent.

Never heard of a front differential vent

Do you have a link? (for a Bronco sport not the full size Bronco)

I'll tell you, my stuff is routed differently than yours so your pic doesn't look the same as mine would. The gooseneck means that's a vent. The other rubber vent hose I have near the battery is back closer to the firewall, clipped to another hose, and it goes down into the depths of the engine. It's some sort of a vent for the crankcase or the oil pan. Maybe the oil separator? I don't know which side of the engine that's on.

Is your BS BL a 2025?

Is your BS BL a 2025?

Yes

 

[BLUEOVALRACER]

Yes

I know you have a 2025 i was asking the other guy if His was a 2025. If His isn't a 2025 that might be why His hoses are routed different.

No, but OP's Sport is, so that's why I can't look at mine and see the exact same stuff, and they might have also moved the oil separator from front to back but IHNI about that.
