I have an early build 2002 with the 4.6 V8. I got a small leak on the top of the engine that's leaving coolant near the numbers 5 & 6 cylinders (driver's side). I've replace the top radiator hose, thermostat, and o-ring seal but I can't seem to find the source of the leak. It almost appears to be coming from the bottom of the intake manifold underneath the point where the thermostat is positioned.
Is it possible the intake manifold is leaking or is there another part in there? Has anyone with the 4.6 experienced this? I see that the lower housing can be replaced on the 4.0's but I've not found any reference to a similar part on the 4.6 engine. I'm wondering if I'm in for an intake manifold replacement.
A parts diagram would be helpful if anyone has one.
Thanks.
