Coolant pooling up at the back of my intake
I've got coolant starting to pool at the back of my intake. 
Does the back intake bolt on the driver's side thread into the water passage?

That's what I was afraid of. I just had that damned intake off during the summer.

I doubt it's the heater hoses. Every coolant hose except for the lower radiator hose is brand new, plus the pool is on the driver side of the intake. It looks like I'll be taking my damned intake back off this spring. 
Thanks for the help guys.
