The 2012 FG-T uses a quality silicone sealant only on the front timing cover in the factory Assembly process.

 

But unfortunately the robot machine feed tube clogged during assembly ( went unnoticed ) on many engine assemblies.

 

Mine was one, causing a very slow oil seep/leak and was fixed by Ford after a lot of pushing for me. Is all good now.

 

German or Japanese  sealants make the best brands of Silicon sealants.

I always had a weep at the front of the sump unfortunately, 

Can the sump come off without taking out the crossmember?

I would think that to do a good job , it would have to come off. Mine was done at Ford and the full job took 2 full days.

 

A question for the more experienced guys who strip down these engines.

 

" I too do not tolerate oil leaks as it takes the 'shine' off a good car."
