Coolant Leak

Coolant Leak
92 302 5.0 Windsor heads rpm intake.
I went to put my intake back on after taking off to clean and I have a leak out the back. I too it back off and checked the gaskets all seated right but still a leak. Well I walked away and this morning went back and looked at it and the last two ports on the head on the driver side is filled with coolant. I know this just happened because of the leak. It ran great with no issues before I took the intake off. How big of an ordeal is this? Anyone ever dealt with this? Could it just be the fluid leaked over into them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated Im freaking out here

Fluid would never just leak out. Use silicon sealant instead of the front/back intake manifold gaskets. IF you mean there is coolant in the two intake "ports" then your intake gaskets are the problem... which is why I wrote what I did.

What seems to of happened is when I had my leak with the gaskets the coolant seeped into my intake ports down the head. So I put rags down in it and got all of it out and then put the intake back on and filled her back up and then took the intake back off and nothing in there so it seems it just leaked over into those ports.
