- 2002 Ford explorer
Hi I'm new to site. I was trying to find help on the internet and came across this site. My 17 yr old daughter has a 2002 explorer with 4.0 engine. My husband is unable to get under vehicle due to medical problems.Thermostat was replaced due to fluctuating gauge. Two days later dripping antifreeze driver side back of engine towards the bottom. The hoses that I can see are not wet. leaks when reservoir is filled and when engine is running. you can watch it drip from an angled black piece at back of engine towards bottom. Not a freeze plug.it protrudes out about 1/2 inch and is about 1/4 inch wide rectangular shape. Can anyone tell me what this piece is, and what kind of job it would be to replace it myself? I took a picture but cannot download here. Any help would be appreciated.
