Coolant leak

[Grof]

Hi i just put a 5.0l in my ranger and now i have a coolant leak. It seems to be coming from the back of the engine and is dripping from the starter motor. Could it be a head gasket or intake gasket or something simple?

Yes it could be. What you need to do is clean up the area as best you can. Get all the spill cleaned up and then start it up and trace it down.
