Hi Transit Connect Team, New member here. With my past vehicles forums and the local community has been a life saver. Hope you can help me also. I have been shopping for a Transit Connect Passenger LWB Van as a hybrid for persoal and business use. It seems perfect for family road trips and to haul furniture/appliances for my family's real estate business. I found a used 2016 Transit connect with ~$61k miles (just out of power train warranty). Had the car checked out and overall the car looks good but I found a small leak on the bottom of the car and wanted to get the forums thoughts on if this is something I should run away from. Below I attached a picture. The leak seems small and the color looks brown but I am worries that leak could be from the transmission which I read could be nightmare on the TCs. Also not sure if this is large or small concern for these vehicles. Also notice oil on the top of the engine by the spark plugs. Did not get a picture but the mechanic said that it did not concern him. Any guidance and thoughts are much appreciated. Also anything else I should consider or be in the look out for as I do my research? Thanks Team! MJ
