Help Identifying Part - Ford Transit Custom 2015 2.0 Ecoblue

Postby Goldline1200 » Fri Jan 12, 2024 9:05 pm

Hi All,

The low engine oil message came on 2 weeks ago and I filled it up to the correct level. Just did a quick run to the station and it told me again the oil was low.

I've got the van jacked up and identified where I think the leak is but I don't know the engine well enough to identify what the part is called so I can replace it.

I think the issue is with the large black rubber pipe just above the driver-side driveshaft shown in the pictures. The leak starts here (there is no oil above this or anywhere else in the engine bay) where the pipe joins that 90-degree fitting, runs down the side of the pipe, and drips on the floor. There has been one drop from around the sump but this could just be from residue rather than an actual issue with that as well as it hasn't happened again in approx 2hrs.

I'm hoping I can do this change myself if I can identify the part. Could it just be a faulty O-ring? I'm assuming the first step will be to empty the rest of the oil from the engine before I start anything. Any tips would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hard to tell what is leaking from those pics,
But,it’s not the hose you’re asking about,that is a coolant hose.

Front covers,and front crank oil seals are common.(could be getting thrown about from hitting driveshaft)
Remove the lower cover over aux belts to see better.

But if it’s higher up and running down,needs more investigation….

Sometimes helps to clean the whole engine down with degreaser, hose it off and let it dry....then start the engine and let it warm up, often the source of the leak will then be obvious.

The van is booked into the garage. They had a look today and said the leak looked like it was coming from somewhere near the belts so it could well be the common problems mentioned earlier in this thread. I will keep you updated.

Just curious, Your heading says 2015 2.0 Ecoblue....The 2.0 engine wasn't released until 30th of May 2016.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. This was a mistake on my part when I created the topic.

Looks like it might be the power steering pipe which is leaking...

I found some time and borrowed my neighbour's spanners as mine are 250 miles away at a property I'm renovating. I couldn't wait until Friday to find out the cause of the leak. Plus I want to be able to supply any parts for the garage before the booking so that it all gets done as quickly as possible.

I removed the aux belt cover and cleaned everything. I found the area where it's coming from but do not know that part. I don't think the leak is coming from above this area. The red arrows show where I could see the oil form into a drop and fall to the ground. Hopefully, the images give you enough to go on...

It’s a cover over the fuel pump gear,
But,according to Catcar,that part isn’t available separately from the timing cover itself.
Only other option would be to remove and clean it,try sealing it back into the cover….

Edit.they are available elsewhere

Thank you for identifying that part. I have ordered one in preparation for Friday's visit to the garage.
