Probably Degas bottle leaking under pressure. Is the leak back under the Degas(expansion tank) area ?
Don't buy anything but Motorcraft/Ford parts on THAT cooling system. don-ohio
This motor does not have freeze plugs. However there is a tube with an o ring that runs under the intake manifold that can leak and run betweem the block amd transmission.also check that the manifold between the heads or one of the hoses under the throttle body is not leaking and running down the back of the block.
Check the level in the radiator, if its low and no lights or anything are on I wonder if the gauges or low coolant light are even working. Not much else I can suggest other than to get under the car and see where its dripping from.
Unfortunately it sounds like you may have a head gasket fault, I would double check for leaks internally and externally if none then arrange to have the engine checked .
The fan problem could be a bad blower motor resister. As for the coolant leak it could be a number of things, hose,water pump, radiator or even heater core. Try to take a look under the hood to see if you see any leaks.
a common V6 failure is the intake manifold gasket. coolant will usually leak behind the water pump on the drivers side, however it can leak at other locations on the intake manifold gasket.
coolant leaks from other areas include the heater core, hoses, expansion plugs, trans cooler, and coolant overflow tank.
a small leak like that is like pulling teeth. a simple fix might be as easy as putting a tablespoon of pepper inti the cooling system. like your blood platelets form a scab, the pepper will clog the small leak and fix temporarily.
the clamp is definitely not tight... tighten it first and see if there is a change in heat also refill what you lost in antifreeze also see it the hose itself is not leaking if so replace both to be sure and possible flush the heater core while your at that point .
