intake question

[Podladog]

I know there are some lines that run through the intake, but I have a pool of coolant just past my throttle body. I decided to look past it and that's when I said, wtf... that doesn't seem right.

So, is it time to tear apart my intake and find a leak, or a crack in the manifold? I'm also assuming it isn't supposed to be there because it smokes when running.

check the hoses that go to the throttle body. make sure they are not cracked and rotten. rubber breaks down after a while and it will dry rot over time. you might just need to replace the hoses and clamps.

Yep most likely just hoses, I've had 3 KADE's in my car so far and on each one the hoses were cracked/bloated/or stiff and about to break. Usually the first thing I do before putting the motor in is yanking the intake and eliminating as many of the vacuum/coolant hoses as I possibly can and then replacing whatever is left with nice new hose and worm-gear clamps as the clamps that come from the factory kind of suck imo they're usually the metal band style which always messes up the hose ends because it's not a flat surface thats clamping down on the hose.
