Possibly overheated
My car has just started leaking coolant from all 4 ports around the intake. All off the hoses where they connect to the intake are leaking also. Does this sound like my car overheated? Its idling worse then ever also. My guage doesn't go higher then a little before half way even driving it with all the coolant leaking. Could it just not be working right?

RE: Possibly overheated
all those hoses connected to your intake are vacuum hoses. they should not be carrying coolant, only air.
you probably got some coolant in your crankcase right now. check the oil to see if it looks like a milkshake. if it does, stop running the motor.
you could wipe out your bearings.
i'm betting your lower intake came loose or the gasket gave out, although i have never heard of an intake gasket "blowing".

RE: Possibly overheated
Sorry should have been more specific but the hoses that go to the heater and egr spacer are the ones leaking. They were replaced about 2000 miles ago. The gaskets were replaced 2000 miles ago also. They are felpro btw, not cork or anything like the stock ones. I also I made sure I used a healthy amount of rtv around the coolant ports to make sure they didn't leak.

RE: Possibly overheated
my heater hoses were leaking too, to fix it I just put new hose clamps on and put the hose on farther than it was.
the egr spacer might be leaking from the 2 coolant hoses going to it.
mine are plugged off, but I dont have an egr anymore.

RE: Possibly overheated
If it was just the hoses I wouldn't be worried. But around all 4 coolant ports on the intake and head coolant is pouring out. I lost a good amount just driving it around for 20 minutes. I just don't get why this would all start leaking all of a sudden. There is coolant in the oil also. I'm going to do a compression check tomorrow to see if a head gasket went bad also.
