Assuming that you run the AC during the winter periodically to keep the compressor shaft seal lubricated.............. Probably a pinhole leak somewhere on the Ford, look for wet oily patches on the condenser ( AC front rad ) or connecting pipework/pressure switches underneath at the front. They are the favourite places exposed to the elements and stones etc.
