Coolant Loss-intake manifold

[Gileg]

Hi All,

I have a 97 4.0 L that is blowing coolant out of what looks to be the drivers side of the intake manifold, it blows it pretty much straight forward when it's running.

It appears to be from right behind the thermostat housing.

From this vantage point, it appears the intake is raised above the block, almost like you could pass your hand between them.

Oh yeah, btw, any input is appreciated. Now that I have the throttle body and most of the upper parts off, it almost looks like it could be the thermostat housing blowing it out, and maybe it is bouncing back so it LOOKS like it's blowing forward from under the intake manifold . . . . . . .or am I just trying to fool myself>
