94 5.0 leaking water only after it has been run

[74bronk]

Antifreez leaking from the front of engine above the waterpump around the intake, only after it was driven then when you shut motor off it leaks out! Any one have this problem? if so, where is it leaking from? I don't think its the thermostat housing either.

any help on this is appreciated!!!

Sounds like its leaking from the intake manifold might need to make sure its torqued properly. sometimes the bolts loosen up and will leak when the engine is hot.

I agree that its probably the intake manifold gasket around the water port. I redid mine a few weeks ago and I had to retork it about three times to get it tight. The gaskets seem to relax after the initial torking and the bolts are a little loose making the gaskets not seal well. Try retorking the intake bolts.
