    ok, i seem to have found the leak. coolant elbow (upper).

    but there is also a little puddle of coolant under the alternator by the intake (kinda between the intake and the valve cover but over toward the alternator). could this be from the elbow also? or the intake.

    if the puddle is in the groove of the intake i would think its the intake gasket. with the coolant elbows being bellow the intake i dont believe that coolant would travel up
