Just me personally, but I'd wipe that light coating dry and avoid the elective surgery.

It's a pretty common weep and unthreatening. Certainly less threatening than...... Well, I don't want to sound too paranoid about dealership tech shortcomings.

If the dealer techs screw up that somewhat simple repair, they no business being under the hood of anything.

Almost forgot to take a pic, so just ran out the truck tonight with a flashlight. Not the best pic, but you can see the seepage. Maybe not as bad as the OPs, but I think this is going to have to get way worse before I do anything about it.

Interesting mine is also the passenger side of the engine. Driver side is totally dry.

You're correct but they are out there and working at Ford dealers like everywhere else.
