I have a 2022 Bronco with the 2.3l motor. I have a slow leak on the front of the engine near the water pump pulley that is coolant. It collects on the timing cover and other surfaces and looks terrible. I have taken it to the dealer and they pressure tested it but could not find a leak. I’m not concerned about low coolant level, yet. But I am concerned with the leaking.
Has anyone else noticed this and had success in getting it fixed?

Disappointed the dealer left it at that.
Clean it off, take pics. Check it startup for a few days and see if it’s seeping while the engine and hashes are cold.
If nothing is found I suspect t your going to see something from ruining it to work or wherever you drive to daily.
Document with pics when you find the leak and take it back to dealer with new found evidence to have it corrected.
I had to do this with another vehicle . Only leaked oil for about 2 minutes on the morning startup at temp below 60 degrees. By the time I got to the shop it was not leaking and engine would never fall below that temp the remainder of the day.
