Is it actually from the manifold, or could it be the thermostat housing, a heater fitting, or anything else?Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

I would use a pressure tester to check where the coolant is coming from before replacing things. It could be a loose hose or something. The pressure tester should show you where the coolant is coming from.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
