All, I have a 2000 Excursion v10. I noticed a coolant smell today and started checking all the normal places but did not see any. I then just happened to pass my light under the intake and I saw a lake of coolant. Where the hell could it be coming from? What is under there to leak? I have lost a lot of coolant in a very short time. Thanks for the help!

 

Spray left over from a pressurized radiator leak?

 

The V-8's have a coolant crossover leak problem, figured they were all worked out by the time the V10's came out though.

 

I thought the leaks were only on the plastic intakes. There is no coolant anywhere else. No residue or evidence that its from the radiator.

 

There is a pipe/hose that passes under there, I believe. At least, there is on my 4.6L, not sure about the V10 as I haven't been under the hood a whole lot over it's lifetime so far
