97 4.0 . For the last while I have been going through coolant with no visible leaks or signs of where it leaks, but I could smell coolant after it was driven.
Well a day or two ago after I drove and parked her. I could hear coolant pressure escaping from the drivers side somewhere. So yesterday I crawled underneath her to see if I could find the leak
I found it. I have a steady drip coming from the front drivers side behind the a\c bracket. Looks to me where the head meets the block.
My question is,, could the intake gasket leak enough to drip down there , or would a bad head gasket or cracked head be the more likely cause?
