I jinxed myself!!!!!! Leak!!!
So I just popped my hood and I think antifreeze is leaking out of my intake?? A while back when I changed my antifreeze and flushed my system really good afterword a few days later I say some antifreeze on top the intake I just though I had might of spilled some ..I guess not cause I soaked it up and now it there again ..anyone else experience this??
I did some research on here about it and I found that there was a recal for 99-01 ? For the intake manifold. And everyone's leaks were in the back passanger side. Mine is on the passanger side but at the front even with the oil cap. Right on the intake manifold dripping down..

The leaks are typically on the front, leaking from the plastic cross over tube. The plastic one is prone to cracking, and needs to be replaced. The effected models were 99 and 00. 01 has the revised intake manifold, however its still not rare for them to leak as well.
I would advise you to buy a replacement part from ford because the aftermarket replacements from an auto parts store have fit and finish issues.
There is a tsb on the I take manifold leaking, not a recall just to clear that up...
