Hello everyong.
I have a 99 ranger 2x 4.0 ltr and it has a coolent leak somewhere near the front intake manifold. I can't see exactly. I was hoping to get an exploded view to see what's exactly involved in getting the intake manifold off the engin. Any help or comments will be greatly apprciated.
Thanks in advance for you help.

Welcome Joe, and take a close look at the front of the engine.
The leak might be coming from the timing chain cover instead of
the intake manifold. The 4.0 ohv tends to leak there; usually
on the passenger side where the coolant flows through the cover
to the water pump.
