add more and see if it goes down it might be your a/c that is leaking it thaws when you turn your car off

Same issue on my 1997 Thunderbird 4.6L. It was the intake manifold. It was a known issue with that generation of 4.6s. There was a recall. The recall was limited to 7 years, so I missed it. Not sure if the same issue was identified on the SVT.
