My 1997 Grand Marquis w/150,000 mi. has a coolant leak. It appears to be at the upper heater hose connection. The darn hose runs underneath the intake manifold. Is there a trick way to snake that hose through there? or am I going to have to remove the intake manifold?

You can leave the intake manifold on. You will have to remove the wiper cowl, however. It isn't more than a 15 minute job. Just be sure when re-installing that you connect the washer fluid lines and don't pinch it or else you'll have to do it all over again....ask me how I know :P

Thanks Blue)(Fusion - I wouldn't have thought of that. Much easier to tackle it that way :smile:
