Regrettably, coolant seepage from the intake manifold on your 2000 Ford Expedition is a common issue, especially as the vehicle gets older. This typically indicates a degradation of the intake manifold gaskets and will require replacement. While it's not the priciest repair you might face, it can be labor-intensive to dismantle and reassemble. Alternatively, there could be a leak in one of the small coolant lines. Be sure to monitor that your radiator reservoir remains free of oil and your oil dipstick doesn't show any coolant. It's advisable to have it inspected promptly, but as long as you're not mixing fluids, it's not urgent.
