I've been reading about coolant fluid leaks in the 4.0. I have a '95. Seems the lower intake gasket is a common culprit. I want to make sure that I'm understanding correctly. Will a lower intake gasket failure result in a gushing of coolant at the rear of the engine on the passenger side. It is just below the wiring bundle that goes across the top of the intake. I can see coolant shooting out of this area with the vehicle running. It is just to the right of the valve cover. In looking at diagrams, this is the area where the coolant port at the back of the engine is, and I'm assuming the rubber gasket blew out.
Before i take off the intake, any ideas as to why this would be a bad assumption. Many posters with a intake gasket problem seem to have internal leaks.
Thanks.
