Have had an on going coolant leak, from the front passengers side of the engine.

Thought maybe the head gasket, but the exhaust is/was clear, start-up is quick, and based on the amount of coolant I was loosing would produce really rough running of engine which it was not.

I then checked the water pump. When I got to the pump I could tell that it had been leaking for sometime.

I thought I had fixed it when I replaced the water pump. Yet to my dismay I found that I was still loosing coolant. Upon examination, I can see coolant on the passenger side of the oil pan. Following it up to the under side of the intake manifold where I loose sight of the trail.

I have also replaced and checked the thermostat/housing/and sensor below. All seem to be fine.

Coolant seems to be coming from the underside of the intake manifold, which of course I cannot see. Before taking more parts off to get a better look wanted to know what other coolant items are in this area? What could be leaking?

Thank you for the help!
