Darn, another leak!
Man...I really don't want to have to pull this motor out and rebuild it again...I have a coolant leak coming from somewhere on the engine. So here's what I got, Everything looks dry, from the hoses, to the freeze plugs, even every inch of the motor. But, wether I run the car or leave it sitting, it just drips coolant from what looks to be right in front of the bell housing. I'm trying to find this leak but, I have not a single clue where it's coming from. I posted a video on here. What do you guys think?

Based on your video, I'd start by looking at the back of the intake manifold, heads, and the top of the bellhousing. Perhaps some mirrors and a spotlight will help you trace it.
I have seen head gaskets leak like this, but not resulting in coolant running behind the bellhousing.
I had a place called "the carburetor shop" local to me install an Edelbrock Performer on my car, when I was working overtime a few years back, because I didn't have time. I brought the car back the next day for various coolant leaks. "Vinnie" then told me I had a "rear main seal oil leak". Turns out the guy had no technique whatsoever and I ended up re-doing the manifold job myself anyway. Miraculously, I fixed the "rear main seal oil leak" when I reinstalled the manifold!
Good Luck,
Brian

Thanks Brian, at this point I do think it might be the intake manifold. I posted another thread also about a oil leak i have in the front of the block, right underneath the intake manifold. I'm gonna replace the gaskets again and lay on a thicker layer of cilicon on the front and rear of the intake manifold.
