Any help would be appreciated ... I'm a novice when it comes to working on my mustang and diagnosing engine problems.

Today I noticed water pouring out the bottom of my car at work. I had it towed home assuming it was the water pump (something I could change). Upon closer inspection, however, the antifreeze pours down from the back of the oil pan (up against the transmission) while the engine is running. I don't see it leaking from the front, top, or bottom of the engine.

Can anyone clue me in?

Thanks...

Alright, after a few hours of research it seems the intake manifold crack is probably what I've got. It does appear, however, that these tend to crack behind the alternator and on mine I can't see any coolant coming from anywhere on or below the engine ... only leaking from the back near the transmission.

I guess I'll assume a crack in the manifold near the heater hose unless anyone can offer any insight.

Thanks...
