Coolant Leak
I have noticed a coolant leak around the area where the exhaust manifold is bolted to the head. When the motor is running drops of coolant form around the area of the mating surface of the ex. manifold and the head. This is a 6.0L PSD in an Ex. Can the headgaskets be changed while the motor is still in the vehicle? Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It is leaking from the third cylinder back form the front on the passenger side. You can see small drops of coolant form when the motor is running. It then seems to run back and down at the end of the head /block surface at the rear of the engine.

yup check the egr cooler hose sounds like its it. Its either a orange or blue hose about
2" long.
the orange one is the orignal part. the blue hose is an updated part that seems to have fewer issues with leaking.
