After two visit to the dealership for the same problem, they finally identified it as the
rear axle seal. Thank goodness this happened while its still under warranty. With
only 10k km left under warranty I only hope this will be the end of this problem. I
should have bought a Pathfinder.

Rear axle seals leaking on a 2005 explorer with 60,000 miles. It is just unbelievable that FORD can design and build a car in which the rear end leaks in a matter of 3 years. I have owned cars that were 20 years old with 200,000 miles that never had a rear end failure.
This is pathetic and the fact that it happens to a large amount of these vehicles and FORD does not accept responsibility for the design flaw makes this my last ford.
