So the cars been drinking coolant since my w/p replacement and I didnt see any fluid on the ground. Finally today I stop at the parts store to get some stuff and pop the hood. Theres coolant sitting on the lower passenger side intake. I drove home and looked around again and was hoping it wasnt a blown head gasket. No water in the oil so i keep looking then hear the "pshhhh" of fluid dripping on the engine somewhere. took some pics, anyone have any idea what kind of lines or gaskets could be leaking there? BTW I replaced all the radiator hoses during the w/p install. Could it be a head gasket or lower intake gasket?

Dude, the rubber hose connecting the EGR Spacer to the metal coolant tubes is RIGHT THERE.

I can't tell for sure, but it seems to me that from the picture, that the hose is missing the two worm-gear clamps it needs to keep it from leaking.

If not that, than I would be feeling under the EGR spacer itself for a coolant leak from the EGR spacer to manifold gasket.

If not that, I would be checking the coolant temp sensor in the metal coolant tubes.

Essentially, the things with coolant running through them that run over the lower intake on the passenger side

Thanks for the advice. The hose does have clamps just hard to see the lower one and the upper one isnt shown in the pic. Im probably going to have to just pull the upper and check. Im just hoping this isnt an intake gasket. I dont really feel like pulling the lower intake off this weekend.
