i have a 1996 ford mustang 3.8l v6 base model, i recently has been having idle problems and smelling antifreeze, so i opened the hood and seen that coolant was trickling out where my fuel injectors are, and i think its the intake manifold gasket. the car has been overheating since this has been happening, so im not sure what to do. do i fix the intake gasket or would something else be causing this along with the gasket.

Could be an intake manifold or a headgasket leak-Pressure test the cooling system. http://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-overheating-or-running-hot
