F53 brake master cylinder failure
The last couple of trips I have noticed that I had oily water under the front drivers side of my 2018 Miramar motorhome. The only time I didn't see a small puddle was when I didn't use the AC on one ...

The motorhome is still under warranty (Ford) until June so I took it to a large Ford truck dealership that's nearby. I called today to get a status and the service rep said they were waiting on a part, some type of cylinder. I am assuming he was referring to the brake master cylinder.
I only have a little over 11K miles on the motorhome. Is this type of failure common on the F53 chases? I haven't seen much mention of master cylinder failures on the F53 so I am hoping this is an isolated incident.

IMO, chances are it IS an isolated incident. At the age/mileage of your motorhome, it is not a common failure, but, it does happen. Watch the brake fluid level in the master cylinder in the future. It should go down slowly over time as the brake pads wear, but it should never go below the "MIN" level between brake pad changes. Only use the specified brake fluid if you need to top off. (see your owners manual or the reservoir on the MC)
