Default coolant leak 4.0 Engine

Just developed a coolant leak behind the thermostat housing. Don't know what is leaking or what to remove to get at it. Does anyone know if I can remove the housing without removing the intake manifold? Any help is appreciated.

T-stat housing leaking at the seam, a two piece item bonded at said seam into one part.

Intake need not be removed.

Hey all, I'm looking into getting a 04 ranger and it seems like it has the same issue. Guy says it's the ORings, but I think it's the sensors leaking, pics attached

Maybe start your own f*cking thread rather than be inconsiderate by 'jacking someone elses, and perhaps someone will help you......
