MY 2005 Ford Territory Ghia AWD has leaked oil from the day I bought it. The sump seal has been replaced on four occasions, and it still leaks. The front differential seals have been replaced twice, and there have been many other faults, too numerous to detail. Two different Ford service centres have been unable to diagnose the leak problem, with one suggesting that it may have a porous block with a hole somewhere the size of a pin. Ford is giving me the run-around and I am now asking for a replacement engine. Have you heard of this problem before?

THE front diff seals are a regular issue with the Territory, but I haven't heard of a problem with the oil pan seal. It is odd that it can't be fixed with a new seal, so it's worth looking at other possibilities. I would doubt that it's a pinhole in the block. The only thing you can do is to pressure Ford until they do something about it.
