2022 5.0 oil weep

[22XLTsupercab]

Anyone have any idea what I’m looking at here. This 22 5.0 is different than the one I had in my 17, and the top of the motor looks different. Last few days ive been smelling burnt oil and after opening the hood found this gasket wet. Doesn’t look seated right to me. Oil level checks out fine with the dipstick. Truck has 2200 miles on it. Anyone else have this issue?

i would definitely bring it to a dealership's attention before it gets any worse.

In photograph 1 there appears to be an O-ring (green colored) that has been pinched during assembly. Please check ASAP. You don't want to lose that truck to a fire.
The 2021 5.0 has a cover over that area of the engine the appears to have been left off or deleted for 2022

My truck had a similar problem. At least it appears so, pics are kinda hard to tell. My dealer was able to get it sorted. Mine they replaced the top plastic valve cover. The mold mine came out of was defective.

Thanks for the reply, there isnt much room to get in there for photo’s unfortunately. There is a lot more crammed in around that engine than the the 5.0 that was in my 2017

Update. Truck just spent 2 days at the dealer, they found the oil leak to be coming from the oil separator (ml3z 6a785 a) had to wait a day for the part to get to the dealership
