Ok, unless I'm crazy, I had coolant come out of the nipple on the very back of the intake, under the carb. No biggie. I just traced that line up the firewall, and over to the POWER BRAKE BOOSTER? wtf?
I'm thinking I'll cap off all the water lines running to the intake. It's Florida... I don't see the point in heating up my intake.
the coolant hose to the intake is near the vaccume hose to the power brake booster,there is also a coolant valve attached with one small bolt under the intake,it's right near there,that valve goes bad all the time,it may be making you think coolant is coming from there.Originally Posted by Doward

You traced the brake booster vacuum line. The coolant leak is coming from a connection that is closer to the driver side of the car next to the line you traced. It is a small rubber hose that goes beneather the intake and to the metal water pipe under the manifold. To cap it off, you'd have to block the fitting on the metal pipe and the second coolant hose that is connected to the intake manifold on the passenger side. I'd just replace the hose if I were you. Hope this helps.

I'm going to double check it all again.I do appreciate the help, guys!
just don't connect the coolant to the vacuum port for the brake booster or you'll suck up coolant...
