coolant problems

hey guys, I dunno if you can help me but i have a coolant leak around the runners underneath and i have no idea where it comes from. Theres a couple small puddles underneath the runners sitting around there. I just replaced the water pump and the upper and lower hoses but I didnt replace the heater hoses. Do you guys think it has anything to do with the intake manifold gasket from the manifold thats not working. Please help

Sounds alot like the intake manifold gasket is starting to go.

Usually the first sign is small amounts of coolant puddling on top of the intake.

Clean it up real well and then pressure test the system cold and if that doesnt work pressure test it when its warm(note:dont burn yourself:-))

Noticed Chicago in your locale there, we have our whole own regional board for the chicago area, check it out
