Please identify the color of the leakage.
Green? brown/rusty? oily?
Most likely is coolant leak but on high mileage engine it can be oil vapor + morning cold air condensation.
How many miles is on this engine?
How much water leakage is seating on for of the engine?
Is it in on particular spot?

I strongly recommend you to open a CHAT SESSION instead of a single page email session.
You will need a lot of back and forth Question and Answer to trouble-shoot this leakage problem.
I will glad to help if you post a CHAT SESSION.

This means you have a leak in the head gasket. Get it fixed because there is small amounts also going into the oil and will be hard on the bearings. Good Luck, JERROD

1. Drain the cooling system.
2. Disconnect the radiator hose and the electrical connector.
3. Disconnect the radiator lower hose.
4. Remove the bolts and the thermostat housing.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure. Tighten the housing bolts to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).

the heater core is bad and needs replaced

Hello;
The Ford motors are pretty good. I had 280K on a 2.9 V-8 that only needed the oil changed every 3K. Unless you have fluctuatuation in the timing then you should be ok.
These engines use a chain rather than a belt and have excellent life.
Thanks;

Heater core or one of the hoses are leaking. Low on antifreeze now so no heat.
