Having Trouble With Finding Where A Anti-Freeze Leak Is Coming From On My 92 Explorer

[GodsOutlaw]

Gods Grace and Peace, I been trying to find a source of the leak of anti-freeze I have noticed, I've looked at all the hoses as best I could and nothing there,I've looked all over the radiator and nothing there, it seems to be somewhere close to the alternator and a pulley and seems to be above the water pump, but anyhow frustatrated and any help or advice would be profoundly appericated,

God bless

I had that, and it turned out to be a leak in the lower intake manifold gasket. There's a common spot they leak at on the front of the engine, right where the head and manifold meet.

Is that difficult to repair?.

I couldn't do it myself, but a friend came over and we (he) had it back together and running by sundown.

I'd first find where the leak is, it may or may not be that gasket...

I had to pull the radiator, alternator, and thermostat housing before really pinpointed it.

I understand, the idea of taking the alternator and such crossed my mind,your response just sealed the idea, I appreciate your input,and I pray thats all thats wrong.

theres a dye kit you can buy at your local parts store comes with the dye and a black light, you clean up all your hoses and seals and put the dye in hit the lights and you'll see the die clear as day.

I've heard of the dye,good suggestion, sounds less time consuming.
