I have a 2004 Ford Explorer that has a coolant leak on the back side of the engine. The intake is dry so I don't think I have a cracked intake & none of my freeze plugs have fluid present around them. I have 1 main wet area around the rear corner of the passenger side head which leads me to believe that it is a leaking head gasket but the truck isn't running hot. Any ideas??

Have it pressure tested to find out more, are you sure its not coming for the intake manifold and moving around
