I did some checking in the engine compartment and it is, without a doubt, the front crossover on the left side where all the videos point to a design flaw. Radiator fluid is clearly leaking around the gasket and running back along the engine, then dripping down the left rear head and transmission. Given the location of the leak I would guess it is the rubber gasket on the upper crossover, not the broken ****** on the manifold. Of course, it may well be both and the plenum between the cylinders might be full of radiator fluid, too. Pretty significant design flaw. On the older V8 designs the crossover was always cast into the manifold so you only had one gasket per side, not two.
Are there any cast aluminum intakes for the 5.4? If it has to come off I don't just love the idea of putting it back on with a known design flaw just waiting to manifest when I'm out in the middle of the desert or something.
