Mine weeps a couple of oz of oil every 1500 to 2000 miles Ford has not figured out the real cause of the Problem. The Escape had a drivers seal problem and they came out with a kit that had a seal, shaft bushing and a new inner CV drive hub. The other side has the same seal . The difference is the right shaft has an out board Bearing and stops the angular motion of the shaft at the trans axle . This would be not much of an issue if they had put the dip stick in the car. I am watching ford for the real fix Checking the level is the best defense against Transmission troubles

I removed my 3rd row leather seats from my 2014 Transit Connect as I'm never going to have 7 people in it and wanted the extra storage space. And I like to weigh everything.... Each seat with hardware is 55.93 lbs for a total of 111.86 lbs Pretty good chunk of weight. I gained the equivalent of 1 hp and 1/4 MPG The engine is still being broken in however I was happy to see the computer showing 28.9 MPG on this tank so far with probably about 85% highway driving (100 lbs of dry weight is roughly equivalent to adding 1 hp and 400 lbs of dry weight is roughly equivalent to 1 MPG)
