coolant leak

[jasefm]

I have a 2001 5.4 front/rear heat/ac and she is leaking coolant. It seems to be coating the transmition case but i dont see where it is coming from. Any ideas? Where do i start?

Intake gaskets perhaps? Sounds like it's leaking at the rear crossover, and running down the back of the engine.

now i can see coolant pooling on top of the engine.

Its the hose that runs from the back of the water pump to the back of the motor through the upper valley under your intake manifold. You need to remove the upper manifold to fix this.

I had to remove the fuel rail and the back cool pack to remove the hose . Hope this is are help .

does the hose run from the water pump to the fire wall or does it branch out and go some place else?
