I appreciate you answers, not really but there is Ford dealer that had good reviews. I know it will be more expensive but they will guaranty the job. I’m 70 and this is the first time I have to deal with car staff.
As mentioned it's one of the engine mounts. The mess around it is from fluid that is contained inside, the idea being the fluid filled mount is better at isolating vibrations than a solid rubber mount. For some reason it has failed and the hydraulic mount fluid has gone everywhere. They're sealed for life, so you need a new engine mount. Not a big job for any mechanical workshop.

This would appear to be the correct mount:
2017-2019 Ford Escape Front Mount BV6Z-6038-B | Ford Parts Direct



The part number is BV6Z-6038-B - for a 2017 model with the 2.0l EcoBoost engine.

Aftermarket mounts are available from Rockauto (if the genuine Ford mount is too expensive.) 2017 FORD ESCAPE 2.0L L4 Turbocharged Motor Mount | RockAuto

Be careful because mine did the same thing the engine light came on so I took it in and they said it was cylinder 2 so I had it replaced only to get it back and the very next day it did it again and overheated so took it back in. Long story short I had it in 6 different times only for Ford to tell me o need a new engine at the tune of 10 thousand dollars. After further investigation I found out that they have known about this defect since 2010 and kept making them this way. The main ones seems to be the 2017-2019 Ford Escapes. The coolant goes into the cylinder which in turn goes into the engine. I will never buy another Ford!!
Welcome to the forum.

What you've posted is totally unrelated to this topic- about a hydraulic engine mount failing. Please keep your future posts on the topic of thread you're posting in.

Not unrelated. When coolant enters cylinders it causes engine to run very rough. That in turn can destroy the hydraulic dampener mounts.

So yes this is likely a direct result of the root cause engine issues.
I'd be thinking if an engine is running that rough (and for that long that the engine mount has failed) you'd have had multiple fault warning warning lights displayed on the instruments for misfiring and codes stored. The engine is constantly twisting on the mounts every time you accelerate etc.

If you need to top it up at regular intervals then it should be investigated further. You could ask them to check it over for external leaks while they're doing the engine mount.
