Fluid leaking from exhaust manifold & exhaust

[squid267]

Hey y'all

Bought a 87 Ford Bronco II as a project car back in October. It started leaking fluid from the exhaust manifold and the exhaust. I'm having a tough time determine if it's fuel leaking or if somehow coolant is getting in. It definitely smells like gasoline but when I touch it seems like it could also be coolant. Here's a video I took. I'm hoping identifying the leak might help my figure what the fix is. I'm hoping it's not a blown head!

squid,

Gasoline would ignite if it were passing your exhaust manifold, so I dare say it's not fuel. It's coolant.

Could be a number of things, the 1st that comes to mind is that those exhaust manifold deteriorate and can contribute to coolant leaking. Could also be the head gasket or a damaged head.

That is a lot of something.

Are you losing coolant? What does your oil look lile?

Its a 2.9.

More then likely its a cracked head. Pull the dipstick, see how the oil looks.
