I have had this 02 gt motor in the car for about 3 years and had no problems and all of sudden the coolant is leaking from the back of motor somewhere. Looks like it is coming from the driver side because I can see the rust from where it has leaked before. When driven for awhile and then parked I come back out to see coolant on the ground. I can see the coolant running out from somewhere in the back of the engine but can't tell where. The car dose't get hot and coolant water has no oil and car don't smoke. Has anyone have an idea what to look for? Thanks

It could possibly be one of the rear hoses going to the heater core that needs to be replaced and/or tightened.

I will check that out and see. Thanks

If there is anything that it could possibly be the problem anything would help. I will Check what 65mechanic told me and go from there. Thanks again

The heater core hoses are on the passenger side, I would lean towards the intake manifold myself.

65mechanic

Yeah, never hurts to throw out ideas. But yes it could very well be coming from the intake manifold.

are the 02 motors known for getting cracked intakes?

Sorry guys still haven't had a chance to check this out, but I did drive the stang like 50 mile and parked the car and no coolant leak. Don't know what's up with that. Anyhow I will Check it out soon. Thanks alot for your tips.

I had the same problem for weeks and I found it to be my lower intake manifold gaskets. Changed them out and so far so good.

Well went out and looked at the stang and come to find out it was the driver side intake gasket. Replaced the lower and upper gasket and seems to fixed it. Thanks alot guys for your help and ideas.
