Where's it coming from??????

[TWEETER]

I have a coolant leak on my 05 stroke. I have a Sinister EGR delete and i thought it was coming from the hose on that but I was looking at it closer the other day and it wasn't coming from there. It looks like it's comin from the top driver side of engine. Leaking on to top of engine then off the back. When it's first started and cold it's not really there but once it warms up, it's leakin pertty freakin good. I can't even drive it or rather feel like I shouldn't anyway. man I was really hopin it was that $5 hose but go figure it aint. Throw your ideas out to me would ya. :wtf::shrug:

Thanks in advance.

On the bottom view of the intake, it's the hole directly underneath where the intake elbow is on the top side. On the bottom view you can see the coolant passage in the intake from the EGR cooler to where this big o-ring PowerStrokeEnginuities mentioned is. It just gets sandwiched between the intake and front cover.

Ok thanks wetnsloppy. I will hopefully be able to work on it this weekend. By the time I get off of A/T and get home it's cold as chit and I gotta do this outside. Thanks for the help y'all!!!
