Coolant leak...

I need some help troubleshooting a coolant leak...

Location: Back side of the motor under the intake manifold... along the hard line. Between the water pump and bend around the motor that heads toward the radiator (so before the hard pipe goes to the rubber hose.)

Issue: Somewhere along the pipe (or that area) it's pissin out coolant TOWARDS the firewall. (Maybe 1")

Considerations: The two hoses that go to the cabin are not the culprit. The knob that goes to the TB is capped off.

Does anyone have a picture of the back side of the motor WITHOUT the intake manifold bracket installed? I can't think of anything else that's back there. I'm hoping this isn't a cracked hardline...

Those coolant leaks are annoying. I have one, and my engine randomly sprays out a very small amount of coolant at random times. It's hard to find where the coolant is drizzling out of.
