The first thing I would check is the head gaskets. Most likely this is the problem. Hopefully it is not a problem with the block. It could also have a problem in the intake area. If the engine overheats, and since we already know there is a loss of coolant, be sure the fan works, rad is good, thermostate is good and replaced, and stop driving the car. More damage will occur. The job to change the head gaskets is very expensive. Hours of labor are around 20 or less. Plus the cost of having the heads checked and serviced. This must be done. Just the heads alone are around $ 600.00 to service. Has the intake manifold been replaced yet, if not, there is a recall by Ford. The cross over where the coolant thermostate is is made of plastic. the new ones are not. The plastic will crack and develop a leak, mostly to the outside of the engine, but it is possible to leak in the inside, check that also. First, a pressure test of the system might help find where the leak is. good luck, if u need more info, ask me on my message board. Good luck.

Look just below the water pump to see if any antifreeze is visible. Water pumps will sometimes leak and drip out antifreeze. Check the engine oil to see if antifreeze is mixed with the oil, indicating a blown head gasket.
