oil drops from the lower alternator bracket? Running down and also accumulating on the oil pan bolts. Very strange. Any ideas? 2023 ST stock, 13,000 miles. 3 oil changes so far. Just noticed it this last one.

Might be a front axle leak if you have AWD. I had mine taken care of by warranty claim. Here’s a mention of the problem in another forum….
There is also a new TSB for the front disconnect shaft that goes through the oil pan. New shaft no longer disconnects the front so you are in 4wd full time. New intermediate shaft without disconnect, the plug gets cut off and trans module gets reprogrammed to not look for the disconnect.
