Been smelling antifreeze on the drive home in the afternoons, figured it may have been from changing out the thermostat a few weeks ago. So last weekend, sprayed the engine with simple green and hosed it down. Got home this afternoon, smelled antifreeze again, popped the hood, and I can see the "green" in the valley between the heads under the mainfold, but I can't see any leak anywhere. Damn plastic manifold I suspect!!!
How difficult a job is it to replace these things? I'm fairly sure it's been replaced as it has the aluminum thermostat housing on the front of it, so I'm pretty sure it's not under any recall warranty or anything. Damn, looks like it's going to be another $200.00 weekend :-(

Ford actually just had a class-action lawsuit settled on this very issue, you should be able to get it fixed.

for all the info. Looks like it isn't finalized yet, but hopefully it'll spread to include your car, any moron can see that all the non-pi 4.6's were affected.

Hmmmm, looks like they conveniently skipped the 1996 Mustang in there!!! Just MY luck!
