Coolant leak - Any ideas

[blueka]

Our 97 XL 4.0 OHV 4x4 has a coolant leak

I had a look under it and it appears to be in the area by the oil pressure switch on the driver's side.

Is there anything around that area that has a gasket or seal that would fail over time and cause leakage? or is there something else I should be looking for?

Any help would be great, thanks peeps

mine pushed the lower gasket at the back at a funny spot too, that is why i did the whole top end gasket set right after i bought the 99 ohv,, it's actually the reason i bought it,
previous owner could find the leak, and a shop couldn't figure out where it was and how to fix it.

mine was actually leaking from this spot , it's blocked by a gasket and a part of the lower manifold,, kind of a dead end for coolant, but under pressure just the same,,
