Intake Gone

[ZachFr]

I realize there's another thread about this, but it's several years old so I figured I'd start a new one and see if I can get more recent information.

About a week ago I noticed a very small coolant leak coming right from the upper radiator hose, so I ordered all new pipes and brackets.

Today I was getting on the freeway and gave it some gas and smelled some bad burning... pulled over and coolant had sprayed EVERYWHERE and was burning off the engine. There was probably 1/3 -1/2 gal of radiator coolant pooled in the valley of the engine.

I was quoted $800 for an updated intake kit from Ford, $1,100 total with install. It's a little pricey in my opinion... Has anyone else gone through this? What did you do?

Also, it's a 2003 GT n/a with 62,500 miles.

Edit: What I was told is the manifold is cracked and is leaking through the gaskets. The mechanic I took it too said that it's common on Mustangs with the composite plastic intake manifolds. Upon inspecting it myself, it heavily leaks fluid from the two boxed portions of the photo, and I'm not sure where it is cracked.

Thanks for any help
