2001 F150 5.4 coolant leak

Noticed a coolant smell when turning off the truck today. Heard a bubbling noise and noticed a coolant leak. It is on the front passenger side of the engine, appears to be near a fuel injector maybe🤔 Also the heat no longer blows hot air no matter how long the truck runs, it's not cold but not hot either.

Any help, tips, ideas are greatly appreciated. We're getting ready to have winter in Colorado and I'd like to fix this while it's still warm.

you have no heat because the coolant is low.. The aluminum cross over manifold bolts to the bottom of the INTAKE on the left and right sides.. The INTAKE has to be removed to get the crossover off and repair, or replace the INTAKE manifold... the o-ring is blown... it can damage the seal face on the manifold.
