sounds like it might be a head gasket. Or a cracked head.

I know it's not the same engine, but my Ranger has the 4.0 V6 and the antifreeze leak I had (looked like it was coming from the head gasket) was actually from the intake manifold gasket at the rear of the engine.
FWIW, I cleaned the grease and oil off the engine and used a light dusting of talcum powder to pinpoint the leak...
