Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 1999 Lincoln Town Car

The intake manifold on my 1999 Lincoln Town Car is leaking coolant. My wife noticed a noise coming from under the hood, when I turned on her car to listen to the noise I could tell it was the fan belt squeaking. While the engine was running I opened the hood and I could see the coolant running out of the thermostat housing. I thought it was a bad thermostat so I bought a new one and replaced it myself. It wasn't until I turned the car on following the repairs that I saw the coolant coming from cracks in the manifold. I did not know of the Ford recalls 97m91, 99m01, 01m02 until I was researching to buy a new manifold on the internet. I bought this car back in 2000 and never was notified of the recall. This vehicle has 160,000 miles on it and still runs great, until now. I feel I should have been notified of this recall and Ford motor CO. Should reimburse for my expenses.
