The thermostat housing is likely cracked. It's an extremely common problem on these intakes.
There was a class action suite in regards to the issue several years back. You can try to replace the intake gasket if you'd like, but it's a pretty sure bet the gasket isn't your problem. To make it even more complicated, there's not a gasket for just the thermostat housing, but rather the entire driver's side of the intake manifold.
A new intake is about $190 plus shipping. Summit Racing and a host of other Mustang shops keep them in stock. ONLY replace it with a Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) intake and Ford gaskets.
99-mid 01 cars have the same plastic crossover. It's unlikely his is a plastic crossover intake, seeing as it's an '02. But it's also not unheard of for an aluminum one to crack.
