I have a small coolant leak and from what i can see, I think it may be coming from somewhere right above the oil filter where the 2 lower hoses attach. Has anyone ever had a coolant leak from this filter mount housing? I can't even see where or what this filter/coolant housing is mounted to. Is it hard to get at and remove, or is it easy to replace? How much do they run and where to purchase one at, I took a quick look at rockauto but didn't see it on there. thanks for all the help
 






I have a similiar leak right now on my 96 5.0...when I crawl under the there, it looks like the coolant is dripping off of the housing for the oil filter. I havent had a lot of time to look further, but I suspect mine is coming from the lower radiator hose where it connects at the block right (above the oil filter). I think the hose split...looks like a pain to change as well...but ya might want to check that one too.
