Coolant Leak Down the Back of the Engine

[Colton2010 SLT]

Hello, I know this is a common problem with Rams. It is a 2014 ram 1500 v6 3.0L eco diesel with 160K miles. It started leaking coolant down the back of the engine and leaks about 2 quarts every 15 miles. Does anyone have an idea of where the leak is coming from and the costs of the potential fixes? Thanks

It’s called water pipe under intake manifold

This might be the cause.

Test with UV dye. Poor it in the radiator, drive for about 15 mins than use a UV flashlight to follow the glowing trail to the source of the leak. Besides drive time, this method is super quick and easy.
