I really need some knowledgeable input with my problem before it gets too expensive. Try and make a long story short. Got stuck in the snow and after getting out truck wound up having a bad coolant leak. I could never see good enough to tell where it comes from. Have successfully replaced the following: water pump, fan clutch, a freeze plug in the front face of driver side head(behind ac bracket), the thermostat and thermostat housing, and the coolant temperature sensor. Before putting ac compressor and power steering assembly back in place, I inspected as much as I could while lacking a mirror or able to run motor to look for leaks. Still is leaking and looks like somewhere behind and below the thermostat housing, somewhere between intake manifold and ? There shouldn't be a bypass hose like on a SOHC. Doesn't list one anywhere for OHV in manual. I can see another sensor on bottom of block, which may be leaking or dripping from being sprayed on from leak above it, either way it is not the main leak. Anyone familiar enough with a 1999 Ford Explorer 2 door 4.0 V6 OHV Engine that could give me something else to go on would be a great help. Thanks
