8banger how much was the aluminum crossover? Do need to replace the whole intake manifold? I hope not.

It could be a hairline crack that only appears under pressure ie:when the car gets hot.
If it's NOT that, then I would go to Ford and get the stock t-stat and O ring.
Ask the parts guy to print out the diagram, or at least show it to you so you can see how it's installed.
You should not use gasket maker etc because it will make a mess and will fail.

Ouch...
Torque wrenches help stop the breaking of stuff on these composite motors. I had a stock 00 intake (plastic) crossover. Make me an offer as it was a recent install and I pulled it off when I bought my GT in Feb installing an aluminum one.

I'm a little confused on what exactly the crossover is. Does somebody have a picture of it? The place i took it to torqued everything to spec. It's not leaking at the top where you tighten the bolts. It's at the bottom where it connects to the block. I'll try and take a pic of it.
