[QUOTE="BronkoNagurskiSport, post: 216650, could they be from the floor mats?

Wow, where does it get in?

Could it be the brake vacuum booster binding and moving as vacuum leaks down?

Maybe. I looked under and all around the front from under the hood and all looks dry and clean. So, you're on the right track - maybe some under-hood apprearance fluid or similar. I just thought I'd mention it in the event others had seen the same. Thanks!

Yes it was new edited post to add photos. And only happened then.

Hello, I noticed 2 gray stains on the garage floor when we first got the new ’23 Outer Banks 1.5L. Located about under each headlight location. See photo. Any ideas what it might be? They feel dry to the touch.

Will it still drain? Take care not to trap dirt and water and eventually cause corrosion.

High mileage oils usually have the effect to soften and or swell seals - yet they are still meeting current specifications. I suggest you give Mobil lubricants hot line a call to discuss.

Yes that oil really flies out! I use ramps also and plenty of room to work underneath.

Our ‘23 OB is very smooth at slow speed such as when entering the garage. It’s one thing I like about the car.

I can drive very slowly with smooth throttle response. Unlike the’12 Escape we had that was hard to ease forward.

Yes suspect the cabin air vents not closing.

The Fluids and Capacities Guides can be found here: https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/resources/quickreferencecharts Located under Axle Lubricants. A wealth of information!

OMG. Where can I see the specifications and capacity for these two gearboxes? I don’t see it in the owner’s manual.

This problem reminds me of a check valve that is over-sized. A fix might be to seal off one side thereby making the other side stay open? I wonder if taking them off could encourage air to come in and bring dust and, hopefully not, Carbon Monoxide from exhaust fumes into the car.

If our ‘23 OB were doing that, I’d do a precautionary oil change but not really expect it help much. Also keep an eye on oil color (not yellow) and coolant level as some are writing about coolant leaks. Good luck this is disappointing to hear about.
