is your coolant runner plastic? cause if it is you most likely have the infamous cracked intake. Best way to determine for sure is to start the engine and pop the hood. then open the throttle body by hand. wear glasses so you don't get a shot to the eye.

Did you change your thermostat in the car??? I did that and some fluid shot out and ran along the block and back on the driver's side. It corroded one of the spark plug boots and plugs.

Yea theres a tube wich runs across the front of the intake which sends coolant from one side of your motor to the other. It comes stock plastic and aftermarket metal. If yours is plastic its a good bet it cracked and is leaking coolant. They are known for it. Hmmm ive heard of ported heads but never a ported intake they are all ported i guess.
