I would assume this is a 4.9L engine then. There is a possibility for a leak at either the front engine cover at that point, or a leaking intake gasket. The coolant pump essentially sandwiches the timing cover between it and the block. The two 15mm bolts at the end farthest from the pulley, and the two torx bolts closest to the pulley, are for the coolant passages. If the leak is not near these, then I would say the intake is leaking? HAve you checked for possible coolant in the oil?
