intake manifold leaking coolant
I am i need of some help
I have loosened the aluminum pipe that connects to the intake manifold and heater core while trying to remove the quick clips off the heater core which has resulted in a coolant leak...
My questions
1. Is this a serviceable part? (part Number??)
2. How does it go in? (pressed or oring?)
3. What adhesive glue can i use to withstand the temperature of the coolant? (if i cannot get new one)
below are pictures of the pipe out of the car the third image I was trying to show its location

This is about 3rd part of your question ; adhesive.
I am not saying that the use of adhesive is the correct application in there . But If you have to use an adhesive it has to be an epoxy adhesive . They have the high temp resistance and bond strength (approx. 4000 psi ) . JB Weld is an example (available at WalMart Auto dept.) . Just make sure to sand the bond- surface , wipe it good with isopropyl alcohol & lint-free cloth (avoid fingerprints ), and cure the adhesive overnight for full strength.
Good luck,

I think that you can get a Dorman 626229 Heater Water Tube Assembly to Intake Manifold , under $20 at rockauto.com, or Ford part number F75Z9D428CA.
But, I'm not sure what engine you have, so the numbers could be wrong.

My shop , another worker , just replaced one like that on a v10 . Ford had it in stock . Had to remove the manifold , used a crows foot and an extension and tapped it in . It was a press fit . The crows foot caught the swell in the pipe . Over 2 months now and no leaks !Best of luck !
