Coolant leak question?!?

Mike Johnson · March 10th, 2008, 06:36 PM

For a while now I have smelt coolant when I shut the car off and got out of the car. Well today I was looking and I found coolant sitting on top of my intake below the throttle body. Are there any coolant lines that run over there?

there is a hearer core hose that runs off the top of the water pump area and should run right over your valve covers and go straight towards the firewall

So I removed the line that was running across the intake on the pass side. $91 at ford for a new line at my price, $114 before my discount. That is crazy, O well I'll get her fixed back up thursday night.

Yeah that was the only coolant line I saw that was anywhere near the coolant on the intake. It only leaked then it was warm, There must have been a pin hole or slight crack.
