Hi all,
I seem to have developed a moderate coolant leak on my 94 Explorer. After removing the air intake duct I was able to identify what I believe is the source. Maybe someone can confirm if this is indeed caused by a bad intake gasket:
If it is, any guidance on fixing the problem would be greatly appreciated. Yesterday my 1997 BMW 540i wrecked in an accident and now I am down to one car (the Ex) and a house full of visiting guests... the spouse uses the 99 5.0L, so getting back on the road is going to be important.
I am pretty capable at working on the car and did the transmission last year, but getting to the intake seems to be a chore. If anyone has a procedure that would be helpful, as well as a list of replacement parts (e.g. gaskets) that will be needed. Also, are there any pitfalls in doing this?
Thank you in advance for all your help and advice. Take care!

p.s. At least it isn't January!
