Howdy everyone, this is my first post to this forum. I have a 93 Town Car Signature Edition with 285,000 miles. It is leaking coolant from the nipple on the manifold that goes to the heater core. I borrowed this pic from another post and circled the problem area.
This is the passenger side rear of the manifold. When I pulled the hose I found that the steel(?) nipple attached to the aluminum manifold has rotted away to nothing and I can't get the hose to seal on it, I've tried new hose as well as the old one. Can this part be replaced without removing the manifold? If so what is the part called? I would appreciate any help as I am stuck 45 miles from home and the only other idea I have is a Hail Mary with JB Weld and copper pipe.
Thanks in advance, McGee
