I was taking apart my cai, and noticed there was coolant inside my throttle body. It's a acuufab 70mm. Not really sure how? My guess is one of the hoses in the egr spacer is leaking?

It's a brand new TB and gaskets though?

Then you may have installed the gaskets in the wrong positions. No matter what happens, you're going to need a new set of TB gaskets.

Think I found it, one gasket is dripping coolant. Going to run to the store and grab a new set of gaskets.
