So in the past couple of months I have had a burning oil smell coming in through the vents. Put the car on ramps, saw some oil coming from what looked to be the fitting on the bottom of the rear turbo (the on closest to the firewall). Took it to the dealer, told them what I found, and to fix it. So a week went by, I get the car back (With an extra wrench they left under the hood) and all seems well. Take the car to work, and down the strip a few times. Smell comes back. Put the car back up on the ramps, see more oil.
OK, maybe they fixed the leak, and just neglected to clean the oil. I cleaned it off, and sure enough the oil returned. Since the leak was small, I figured I would drive it and strip it a few more times. So last Saturday, I took the car in to fix the leak, and now to fix the defroster on the passenger side (which did not work during our last storm) and still no heat on the passenger side. My service adviser calls me on Monday to ask why my car was being worked on in the trans shop (like I would know). I said I did not know, I did not put it there. :doh:
I drop off the rental they gave me (2014 Explorer Limited 4wd---Gas hog) and pick up my car. While reading the receipt here is what they wrote "PTU unit fail condition, Code D01 7003B. Ck for trans leaks, found massive black fluid leaking from PTU unit, inspect oil in PTU unit, found excessive metal contamination in PTU. Removed and replaced PRU unit.......'
They also replaced the door actuator door that was clicking when starting and when I switch to recirc/fresh air. But now not only does my wifes side of the car not have heat, I don't either, unless I crank it up to 90. Looks like another service call.

). It may have been venting for some time, till it got low enough to start disintegrating.
