Coolant pipe leak

[WELee]

2001 F150xlt 4.2lv6

I have a leak from a metal pipe, aluminum in color and maybe 5\16 in diameter. It's located on top of the engine, Right side. Just behind what I believe to be the Temp Sensor. It's maybe 6" long. It comes straight out of the top of the motor and makes a 90 degree turn into a rubber hose.

I cannot locate this on any engine diagrams, and I don't want to touch it until I'm sure how it's removed. Any ideas out there?

Is this the engine that runs the Anandtech forums?
No wonder they've been slow, they've been overheating.

Looks like to fix it you need to pull the intake manifold, press out the pipe, press in a new one, and put it back together.

also read this. If the leak is super small, you might be able to patch it until you are in a better position to repair it correctly.
