Noticed a little sticky residue around AC compressor and the general area doing oil change. Checked coolant level and it’s a little below min while cold. I’m thinking there is a small leak somewhere.
History. It had a new water pump installed little over a year ago. Seems minor. Anyone else? Have 3k left on 3yr36. Might be time for another visit.

Keep an eye on the coolant level, better yet if you have the means to pressure check the cooling system you can find where the leak is coming from.
There have been people here that have unfortunately gone through multiple water pumps.

Im told just keep a new water pump in the back because they go out frequently. Mine went out before 10,000 on my 2024 bs bb 1.5

Has Ford ironed out this issue and the RDU yet. Tempted not to keep this car. Just fell out of the 3/36. Drivetrain would still cover RDU if goes out again

There are no signs Ford ironed out issues with water pumps on ‘21-‘24 1.5L models, ‘25+ are the MPC Engine so the water pump issue may be resolved with those

For the RDU, there are various TSBs and some include parts replacement
