03 f 150 coolant leak
I have a 2003 f 150 5.4 that has a coolant leak that has both me & my mechanic stumped . I have the intake off & it appears that the coolant is leaking out of the 3rd & 4th bolt hole on the intake on the passenger side . any ideas on how this is possible or where else it could be coming from. Also had a small amount of oil on the driver's side in the little pockets before the bottom of the valley , we can"t find any visible signs of cracks , no oil in water , no water in oil, no smell of antifreeze in exhaust , added a pic , hope you can see it, any help is appreciated , thanks

yes , we checked for any holes or cracks, I will have to try to blow out the holes when I go to the garage tomorrow. We were starting to think that the head might be cracked , but since it is in 2 different spots both at the bolt holes it didn't seem likely. I also forgot to put in my initial post , the intake gasket was leaking when it was pressure tested , when I lifted the intake off is when I discovered it coming from the bolt holes also . You could see antifreeze in between the intake & the valve cover in the very back. We're in between changing the intake & gasket or pulling the motor & having the heads checked. Any advice is greatly appreciated as we have never seen one leak like this before. Thanks
