coolant leak

I noticed coolant laeking off my bellhousing today. it seems to be coming from the back of the motor on the driver side. the intake looks dry and it doesnt seem to be the head leaking. what else could it be

There's a hose back there that probably busted. I had the same systems and that's what it was.

is it possible that the head gasket is leaking when its hot because the alum. head is expanding. i don't notice it when the car is cold

I'm talking about the hose that goes to the back of the engine coming up from the TB.

it only leaks when the car is hot so i don't think a pressure test will do any good because u can't test it when it is hot correct. picture of the hose?

if it has the hose, it will be coming from the spacer behind the throttle body. Kind of hard to miss because coolant flows through the only two hoses connected to it.
