been topping off my coolant Reservoir A few times a week, finally pinpointed the leak above the oil pan near the transmission. Radiation, and hoses up front are all good so I’m wondering if anyone know what might be back in that general area where coolant may leak from??? The picture shows the crevice Where coolant is coming from.

What year Expedition?

My guess would be a cracked intake manifold. Shine a flashlight between the V of the engine (below intake manifold). Look for a pool of coolant.

Second on the manifold, or the hose that runs under back of it inside. Either way, you'll have to pull and replace manifold.

And if it isn't the manifold........ freeze plugs at the back of the block. What a fun job that would be! And don't forget a leaking head gasket.
