Not to hijack, but I drove my car for the first time in 2 weeks, and noticed a few weeks ago, that the dreaded Intake Leak is upon me... It doesn't look too bad however.....

You probably know this already, but I didn't want to take that for granted. I searched around the net looking for a new intake manifold for mine, and I came across a post on another board that had a reference to this as being a warranty issue for some people, and had found no mention of it here (but that could have just been my search string).

RE: coolant leak
They've had a thread going about it on here a little while ago, I thought it was a sticky, but I haven't seen it, or maybe haven't noticed it lately..
I have to get my other car working right first, but I also thought, I'm swapping engines from now until next summer (somewhere in between) so I may just drive it until it's fuct... 154,000+ miles, I'd say the engine got good use.. Still on original timing chain...

RE: coolant leak
Ford only extend the vheicles warrenty on the manifold to seven years from the cars build date so if you have a 96 add 7 to that means your extended warrenty expired in 2003 if you replaced it with in those seven years at Ford you could get your money back but after that its your problem well F!! FORD cause when mine leaked i took it in Jan of 06 and they told me i didnt qualify and if i had taken it in December of 05 they would have replaced it for me for FREE so sorry but i feel your pain!

RE: coolant leak
Make sure you get the aluminum crossover for your year! There's one on Ebay right now for $125. The pi intake can cause you trouble as well because you have to cut the gaskets and put in RTV sealant. That could cause you to possibly lose your motor!! I wouldn't do it if I were you!
