Leaking front cover possibly? Had that happen on my Edge.
dont know what front cover is but on the side of the engine with the oil drain bolt is all splashed with oil with the bottom six bolts looking like they might be leaking.

Don't know what happend to the photos that show this much better.

Problem motor has only had 8 thousand miles on it and already leaking the first one had bad bearrings there should be no issue on this one not so soon

Front cover = timing cover. How you access the timing chains, coolant pump, and oil pump.

Here is a diagram of the FC from a 2009 Edge as example, you can see the bottom bolts and see why I am thinking the sealant may be the issue. Oil travels though, you have to check everything from top down.

Drianed my Catch can that I recently got, probably 2k miles. I think I need to do it sooner maybe every 1k. Love the drain hose. I don't even have to remove the can. It seems like it's alot so I checked my oil level still looks good. I'll inspect the turbos next time im under the car. Ebc9ae800c30f90a7efb6d3be2df0b76Af2355cc4c01ccc26a007700adb5904a

That is much blacker than others I have seen. Usually it is like water with a slight brown discoloration but you can see thru it. Looks like you have a lot blow by in your engine.

Replaced the front door speakers today. First door took an hour, second door took half an hour. Now these two speakers overshadow the others with much better sound so...the rear speakers will be next.

Is it easy removing the door panel?

Mine may be boring...but helps with my OCD. I got a Sandisk Cruser Fit thumb drive for my music. The whole thing is only about the size of a fingernail and doesn't stick out like a normal thumb drive when plugged into the USB ports in the console. I figure it'll be harder to break this one off...and it looks better, too. Yeah...OCD should be my initials...

I have read reviews saying the SanDisk Fit drives did not like continuous reading, like music playing would do. They overheat and fail early. Although I had one for over a year with no issue. I have a Samsung Fit now. It does get in the way less and I'm less worried about breaking it off.

Rear diff fluid changed and PTU drained and filled again. Rear ends fluid wasn’t bad at all. PTU still needs some love

4 wheel alignment ($79) two weeks post H&R install. I did NOT need to use my SPC adjustable rear camber bolts.
Left was 1.8
Right was 1.6
The only thing out of spec was the toe.
The mgr told me to keep the bolts as the springs will continue to settle a little more.
The car feels, drives, rolls a lot more easily. More pleasurable to drive !
