Leaking oil?

Picked up our 2023 ST. on April 21, smelled buring oil on the drive home. Turns out it is the left side turbo oil feed tube. Finally got it into the dealership for warranty repair Tuesday this week.
I had a similar issue, but mine was apparently the oil return line on the passenger side turbo. 2024 ST on the 2nd day of ownership with 150 miles... Got it fixed after some frustrating interaction with Ford, but it kind of takes the shine off of a purchase like this.

Yes, you have the FADA leak. They won't care about the tune... it is a known issue. Definitely get it fixed before powertrain warranty ends. Try to get them to do the FADA TSB and not just replace the faulty O-ring.
I do have fenfabb catless downpipes as well. I can install catted downpipes before going to the dealer if thats a problem

shouldn't be a problem. Has nothing to do with the problem. Besides, the stock cats were flawed and you can just say you went aftermarket because of that.
