Antifreeze leak...
I went to the gas station, came back out, and my car had a big puddle of antifreeze under it. I was hoping it wasn't the water pump, because I went through that with my RS. I drove it home, popped the hood and inspected it. It's not the waterpump, but the leak is starting somewhere near the block, right under the right-hand intake runners. There is a metal line running through there, but I don't know if it's a coolant line. Any ideas? I hope it's not comin' outa the block. In that case, I wish it was the water pump
I don't know what you mean by right-hand, is that looking at the car? drivers/passenger side is easier to use
Anyway, I know that on my edelbrock intake at least one bolt goes into coolant, so the stock one may be similar. This bolt coming out or loosening, with hot coolant, could cause the leak. What you really need to do is clean off your engine and stick a pressure tester on, that way when you apply pressure to the system you'll see the leak.

Yes, i mean the passenger side. Ok, so I'm guessing that there is no coolant line up where I'm talking about? I'll take a look at that bolt.
