I noticed that antifreeze is leaking out around where the hose goes into the intake. If this is all they are talking about I really don't see it costing that much to fix it.

Ron, this was actually in a different forum but was moved here....your guess is as good as mine why though

You have a 4.6 with a plastic intake? The answer to your question is yes, and you need to stop dealing with goodyear. I have a 97 and there is a 'service bulletin' or whatever the pc term is for it for that part. Call Ford with your VIN and make sure you fall into the covered group.
Sounds to me like that's what is happening. The repair should be free, and the work warrantied for I think 7 years from date of service. Worth looking into.
