Coolant Leak

Hey guys so lately i discovered this coolant leak (only seems to happen when i boost) and i thought it was coming out of the lower hose where it comes out of the block so i put a better clamp on it and i went to drive the car around and did a pull and when i got back to check there was still coolant sitting in a puddle on the transmission. (didn't notice any spray or anything) Any of you guys might know where this is leaking from?

It is most likely coming from one of the lines from your throttle body.

Yes. Its easy to fix. just inspect it and then adjust or replace the hose / fittings.

Thermostat housing gasket likely failed, where it bolts up to the head.

Watch carefully where it weeps from.
When cold fill the overflow to the top and watch below housing to see if it drips.

Motor is trash! Joking, telling you man use the system pressure testers and then go under the hood and see where your leak is coming from. Much easier than driving it and looking for it after. I can come help you this weekend whenever LMK.
