Have you pulled the water pump off?

I was planning on doing that tomarow, what should I do when i get it off?

I would look for wholes or cracks in the intake. There has to be something majorly wrong for there to be a leak that water runs into the oil pan without the motor running.

If it is a cracked block, what do you suggest I do?

You will need a new(different) block. Same if its a water jacket problem.

How can i tell if it is a cracked block? Cuz if the block is cracked, I'll start parting it out so I can get a 5.0.

You know what just forget it, I'll just part it out. 2.3s suck anyways unless they got turbo. I'm gona get a V8 put in.

this lead me to belive the problem was a bad head gasket

I think I am gona get a difrent mustang but I am gona have to fix this one first. Does anyone have any idea what the hell can be wrong. It has nothing to do with the top end gaskets. And I don't think it is a cracked head or block.

ok, take off the waterpump and check the plate that bolts to the back, make sure it's not rusted threw. post some more pics too.
