There is a plastic splitter that your heater hoses go into, and 2 other hoses come out of going toward the radiator. It also has a vacumn line attached to it. I just replaced that part and it fixed my leak. I went to a junkyard and got the part - it cost $10. Ford wanted $27 for it. It was leaking and dripping down one of the hoses to the bottom back of the engine. See if that is where your leak is coming from. HTH
