**Coolant leak!!!!!!**

[aws720]

I have coolant leak somewhere under my intake and idk where it's coming from and im pissed because Ive took this intake off multiple times and it still leaks. Not coming from the hose under the intake not coming fr the gaskets I don't think but it's still leaking from in between the bell housing someone please help I need help today!!

I think it would be good to post pictures or where you think it's coming from, but your best bet would be to have someone check it out in person.

I am willing to bet that your intake manifold is cracked.

Is there coolant in any of the spark plug wells? Check inside your thermostat housing, that is the most common place for there to be a crack, just had to replace my intake manifold 2 months ago for that very reason. Also I hope if that is the case it's not leaking coolant into your catalytic converters and clogging them up, dealt with that in the aftermath or the cracked intake

and we don't know if it's a 4.0 or 4.6l because the coolant leaks are different between the 2. Common on 4.6 is the intake manifold leaking coolant and on 4.0 the thermostat housing (not the intake manifold)

nice if the PO pointed that out.

Just like said above. If it's a 4.6 replace the intake. If it's a 4.0 replace the thermostat housing.

Thanks guys! I finally got it fixed but it wasn't my intake manifold, I purchased a brand new intake and it still continued to leak out the back side of the intake but I put some RTV down then laid the intake gaskets on top then bolted intake down to torque specs and let it set for 24 hours and I been driving it for almost a week now and no leaks still so woo hoo! Lol but thanks a lot for the help!
