Oil In The Intake Piping

Update:

So i brought the car to another delaership, i just received a call from the service director and he said they confirmed the rattle on start up and the blue smoke on hard acceleration. They are going to change out the turbos and they need more time to pinpoint the rattle in the engine. Now why in the world couldn't the first dealer diagnose my issues? 
 
Cool!  Hope they get that rattle pinpointed too!  Might be oil filter/phasers or timing chain in early stages.
 
Great to see a dealer finally get to the bottom of unrattling things,best of luck on a speedy process accompanied by a two year warranty.Z
 
I had heavy oil build up on my 2013 SHO in the same location.  Ive cleaned everything up and have been monitoring it since.  The last oil change I took a look from below at the rear turbo, seemed to have some oil around it also.  The car has only seen Royal Purple.  No noticeable smoke out of the exhaust but I do smell a slight scent of oil after a long drive.

How's your air filter look. My Windstorm looked clean, but after 2 days of using stock box with new K&N drop in, the slight oil smell I had is gone. I think the rise in temps and humidity are about to cause issues for many.

Been running a K&N drop in for some time now and this is something that is more recent as I do not remember noticing the smell last year.  33K miles and counting.
 
Update: The dealer just called me to tell me my car is ready to be picked up, they did change one turbo. I was hoping that they would change both of them. As far as the knock on start up goes they said Ford is not going to do anything about it right now because it only makes the noise for 5-10 seconds on a cold start but if you start it right back up the noise is gone so Ford is calling this normal. I call B.S. this definitely not normal. i guess i will have to wait for it to get worse or blow up witch ever comes first.
 
Some progress at least!  In the meantime you can see if changing oil brands/filters/viscosities helps with the startup rattle at all.  Full synthetic seems to be called for.

Yep, that's how im looking at it. I'm going to change to a full synthetic this weekend and see if it helps. Thinking about trying out the new Pennzoil 
 
I know people don't like oil additives but mos2 does work and is cheap around 6 dollars for a can. Do your own research. Plenty of threads on bitog to start your search if interested.

I'd have to look at it but I'm pretty sure it's not real synthetic...it's probably a group iii hydrocracked petroleum....not sure why this bugs me so much but I guess because it's a disservice to the true group IV /V synthetics such as amsoil redline and the top tier royal purple among others
 
I just pick up the Flex and it is the dirtiest i have ever seen it. Also i noticed it seems to be running rough at idle, i know i haven't driven it in a week but i don't think i use to feel shaking in the steering wheel like this before, only at idle
 
Take a quick look-see if all piping is connected and fluid levels are ok (not overfilled)?  Could be idle relearn, but don't know for sure.  Maybe put up a pic of the service order to see what work they actually did?

You did have the 2 bar+stock tune when you turned it in for service?

Definitely no tune. I will give a look under the hood when i get off work
 
They tend to idle a little rough after a reflash or a kam reset...not sure why...I wouldn't worry about it...drive it a few times and see what it does

New turbo, at least there's that! I would hope they reset the adaptive learning after all that work. If not and you still find it idling and running weird you can follow this guys instructions on how to do it yourself. He is a ford tech.

i drove the car around last night for a few hours, didn't see any improvement, same thing this morning so i brought it back to the dealer. I can feel the roughness of the idle all through the car at idle in gear and with the AC on its worse. I was told that they removed the sub frame to change the rear turbo, i wonder if they didn't put the sub frame in the correct spot if it would make the car feel like this
