Some Lincoln MKX owners report experiencing transfer case leaks, particularly in models from 2007 to 2010, which can lead to excessive fluid pooling under the vehicle. These leaks are often attributed to failed seals or gaskets, especially in cold weather conditions. Additionally, some owners have noted a burning smell inside the vehicle due to the leaking fluid. Repair costs for these leaks can vary based on the extent of the damage and necessary component replacements. To prevent unexpected transfer case failures, regular maintenance and inspections are essential, particularly for all-wheel drive models. If you notice a transfer case leak, it is advisable to have your Lincoln MKX inspected by a qualified mechanic to promptly address the issue and avoid further complications.
