Radiator leaking? Coolant can come from a number of places. Will need to isolate where it's coming from and go from there or taker to a shop for troubleshooting/pressure testing.

I had a Chrysler V6 couple years ago that was leaking coolant from the timing chain cover. Like I said, lot's of possible sources.

You have a 2.9L V6 engine in your 91?

UPDATE:
Sorry....I see now this is 4.0 forum thus you have the 4.0.

My '94 4.0l sprung a leak from the intake gasket just above the t-stat housing.

Best thing to do is to top off the rad and drive truck until it is warmed up, that should get about 16psi of pressure in the cooling system.
Then park it, shut engine off and watch for where the leak is coming from.
Leaks can often spray so coolant is dripping off something else, keep that in mind.

1991 Ford Ranger---water leaking

The water is not coming from any where around the radiator. It appears it is coming from the area around the water pump. It is a brand new water pump (replaced yesterday) 7/29/13.

Did you replace the gasket as well? And use silicone on on the gasket?

I have seen brand new water pumps leak out the weep hole.
