I have an oil leak that only shows up when it wants to. Ive looked for it for years and also ford has and cant find. Also onlyt does at start up and goes away until next time when it wants to show. Any ideas from anyone?? Also in on the driver side somewhere behind the powersteering pump

Oil cooler o-rings. They get old and dry out and crack. It will usually leak on start up when it's rather cold out and then stop leaking when it warms up.

Fairly easy fix, just messy.
