I have 1994 F150, 5.0. Currently I have a coolant leak somewhere around the head and intake manifold. The head being the drivers side head. There is fluid bubbling up in an area that is in the front right (looking at the engine). It appears to be around the area where the head, intake and the front cover come together.
Anybody seen this before. Had to put Barrs leak in it. It stopped and dried up enough to finish my trip. It appears to be coming back.

If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Dont want to go to shop if I dont have too.


thanks

 

sounds like the lower intake manifold is leaking where it seals to the heads. Coolant flows from the head to the intake at the front and back of each head. Use a coolant pressure tester and see if you can find exactly where it is leaking.
