Right behind the alternator as in near the t-stat housing? Mine did too...
98 GT. 96-97 vehicles were covered.. but not 98. There is a revised manifold
available for a fairly low price at your Ford dealership. Gotta bite the
bullet & just get it... unless you wanna take 'em to court & potentially
spend more by losing.
