2006 LR3 4.4 I'm getting a leak that drips around the bell housing/engine connection and wondering if anyone knows if the 4.4 has a crossover pipe or manifold in the back. Looking at the cooling diagram I don't see one and using my phone camera to look where I can't stick my head between the engine and firewall I can't readily identify one. I've also read posts about a hose that runs under the intake manifold but can't identify that on the repair manual diagram. I'm open to any advice. Thanks in advance.

All the coolant pipes are in the front of the engine. Coolant may be running down under the intake manifold.

That makes sense, when I first started after removing the skid plates there were about 8 quick drops from the front like where the water pump is and then it started dripping back by the bell housing. Guess it's time for another water pump. It's probably got 70k on it. Thank you for the diagram.

OMG. My entire life I've preached Keep It Simple Stupid. Ordered the water pump and hose assembly and was looking at the engine thinking about the process to disassemble to get to the water pump and there was the bleed valve T completely corroded into pieces. $7.95 plus shipping and I'm back on the road. I really am getting to old for this stuff! Thanks again for the diagram!
