    Yes, if still equipped, plastic intake manifold cross over (or if it's had a cheap all alum replacement) or water pump most common front leaks.

    If his car is an 04 it should not have the plastic crossover. When they went from Windsor production to Romeo they swapped that as well which was 01-02 I believe.

    Looks like a bad water pump to me

    I have never done anything like this and I would really like to try, but before I do something stupid.. Is there any special equipment that is needed? like a lift or special tools?

    And any advice is much appreciated
    Joel,

    Just basic hand tools really - a big drain pan - to drain the anti freeze is always good - might be a good idea to inspect the rad and possible replace hose's (hose's can sometimes be difficult to remove) a lot of patience and give yourself a day to do a good job - good luck there's lots of help here if you need advice on the way!

    ^^^^forgot to mention - many aluminum parts here with steel fasteners - try not to break the fasteners off if they are stuck don't force - if they are stubborn heat with a propane torch or tap lightly with a hammer to free them up ^^^^

    Some bolts can be corroded to the point of not needing much force to break. I got to the last bolt before this happened...
