I'm glad I came across this! My 02 with the 4.6 has been losing an insane amount of coolant, but there's no sign of it anywhere. I had replaced the intake manifold with the updated version about 6 years ago. I never would have thought that it could start leaking again, so strange as it might sound, I hope to find the leak under the manifold.
Nice!!
Thanks dude
thanks
Great!!
My mountaineer does the same
Anew intake plenum form eBay will fix this issue for $140.00 Saved me big!
Do have a video on that repair?
+Rut n roll Yea I do....it on here. Basically you have to replace the plastic intake....and then you have to make sure if you have a Heated pvc valve or just a standard one. Now this is on the 4.6 v-8....not the 4.0. The intakes are plastic and seem not to last. Good luck. I spent $280.00 on a new intake on my 4.6. ;(
@@FixingWithPassion how do you find that out. I'm not a car guy but have this same problem just now. Please point me to the right video. Was it 280 because it was wrong or .... just 280 dollars.
That's my problem too. And little bite leak come out yeah it the inside intake manifold in bottom head gasket. After you run it the water leaks in to the oil pan. Yeah you right gasket
That's to bad. ;(
thank you we have the same problem. I am not car savy, but would like to get the local mechanic to check, as they did the pressure test and it came back fine, but still loosing a lot of coolant. You said check the intake, could you expand that definition for me, ie: intake to what etc. thank you very much.
+SooKi Dee You need to replace the intake with a new one. They come with new gaskets. I have replaced 3 last 2 years. The factory put cheep plastic intakes on these SUV's. Now you can buy a updated version now days. I have a video of how its done on here. I paid $140 on e-bay for everything in needed. Pretty easy to do if you can do some mechanical stuff.
Thank you for the quick reply. Intake for what? sorry.... technical name would be good. thanks again.
Intake for the engine. ruclips.net/video/LpOrpK0bCxA/видео.html
Would this cause my spark plugs to be wet when I replaced them?
Yea.
Hello. I have a question. I own a 04 Ford Explorer limited V8. Today I noticed a antifreeze coolant leak behind the engine. I don't know exactly where behind the engine is leaking yet. Could you give me an idea what could cause it to leak? I'm thinking a heater core or other holes .
Find yours? Heatercore
My husband has a 2007 Ford Ranger and has a leak - at the hole that looks just like the hole you found when you went under your truck. Since they are very different vehicles, would this still be the same problem? The picture he took looks exactly like that! I've been searching the internet to figure out what that little hole was!
ford needs to recall these.
There still selling aftermarket intakes to this day.....
Does this leak to front of car right? I have a problem got a coolebt leak on right side front it's also around my transmission and Its hard to follow leak, but car don't over hear when I drive it leaks the next day as well, wasn't sure if it could be thermostat housing, water pump or this hope it's something easy.
Yea front right....as long as its not leaking real bad you will be ok. Just check the engine water level now and then.
@@FixingWithPassion it’s been ages but I want to know if your ever fixed it.If you did please let me know Thank you sir
Does the transmission have to be dropped in order to fix this?
***** Thank God....no...lol Just the intake...plastic crap.
+Steve D no....sorry for a long reply.
It not the intake manifold it's the blocks Freezy plug show how to fix the Freezy plugs. That's why morster build up
So I'm just now running into this problem and I have a leak in the same spot! How much money in parts and how hard is it for me too do myself
Just replace the intake gasket. Not a hard job to do. I have a video on here somewhere.
Nathan Rohrbough I just finished watching it and I'm gonna tackel that job her soon thanks for the video!! Great step by step instructions.
Ok let us know how it goes!
I know this is an old post and not sure if you still follow this or not but I think I have the same problem, but I only leak the next day that I drive it, was wonder could it be the same problem?
Probably so. If your intake/plentum is plastic...its probably has a small crack or bad intake gasket. Pretty easy fix.
But the only and right fix is to replace both plastic intake with new gaskets...You can this kit on e-bay from dealers pretty cheep!
TVWXMAN32 how hard is it to change?
Not hard if you have some tools and know how. Just do some reasearch before you dive in!
This is where you put in a $7 can of Stop Leak
