I was just reading today that a coolant leak from the rear of a 4.6l could be coming from a heater hose, & that to replace it you have to pull the intake. Not sure if thats your condition, but that should be a "fun" project if it is.

Since you'll be taking the timing chain cover off, it'd be a good time to replace the timing set with a good double roller. Timing chains wear/stretch over time and alter the timing a couple degrees. It'd also be a good time for a cam upgrade if funds allow...

Where a leak is visbile and where a leak is actually comming from are two different things. Clean the area off, and see if a local auto parts chain does tool rentals. Rent a pressure tester, pressure test the system, and diagnose. Otherwise you could be on a wild goose chase for the leak needlessly spending money.
