Help Needed please

Hey fellas,
I have a 1999 Ford Expedition with a 5,4 triton V-8. I lost all of the coolant out of the right rear of the engine the other day. Wwhen I re-fill the radiator the fluid runs right out the rear right of the engine. The oil level is ok which is good. We are going to remove the lower intake manifold to see whats up. I was checking online to see what a lower intake manifold costs, & I cant find one. I find other years but not 1999. Is there something soecial about this part? Any help as far as where I can maybe find this part is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
John

Do you know for sure you need a new intake?
Could it be a freeze plug or just the intake gasket?
Could it be the heater hose fitting over there?

Here's an intake for a 99.

The freeze plug and hose fitting are fine. Not sure about the gasket.

That's true since aftermarket tubes would've lasted 25 years.

Now that you've attained step one, you'll need to start working on step two. Step two is to quit your job at the Ford dealer and go work at Autozone. You'll be a much happier person for doing this.
