intake bolt missing / coolant leak

who knows how/when this happened but i seem to be missing a bolt. around that, there is coolant puddles. could this coolant be coming from the bolt hole? there also seems to be coolant in the bolt hole. or would this more likely be an intake gasket leak? pic attached.

will these bolts do?

Re: intake bolt missing / coolant leak

No, that hole is for a clip that holds some emissions lines, specifically the hard and rubber line in your pic. The clip looks like a W and the 2 lines snap into it. The coolant is coming from your thermostat housing or the underside of the TB is leaking.
