22' 2.7L with 12k miles.

Very slight coolant smell coming from the passenger side but no visible leaks.

Coolant is below the min mark. This does seem to be a common issue from reading here and else where.

Brown residue in the overflow tank and crystal like build up.

Factory fill, I have not added to the system.

I've had to top off approx. 12-16 oz. of fluid throughout my 18k miles.

However, I don't have the brown residue/crystal buildup that you're showing. My fluid still looks relatively new.

Hi there! I can look into your bronco's coolant leak concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your bronco's VIN?

The level didn’t go down anymore.

The dealer did pressurize and check for leaks. Non were found.
