Coolant Leak 04 Freestar 3.9 under/behind air intake
HI, I noticed my coolant leaking and dripping on the passenger side.
I traced it back to the top of the engine in the rear. Right under the intake manifold. I could see pools of coolant around the injectors.
Where is it coming from? Do I have to remove the intake manifold? Is it the Intake manifold gasket, that can leak coolant?
I don't see any coolant hoses there.
Thank you.

Hard to tell without seeing your vehicle in person. Could be leaking from the freeze plugs. And if that's the case try to buy them from where you can return stuffs easier just because it's difficult to get the correct size. Replacing freeze plugs can be time consuming and a shop can easily charge you $1000. If you have just very slow leak you might want to try the freeze plug stop leak first rather than replacing them.
