My s14 is leaking coolant from the intake and it just started doing it since I flushed the cooling system. Any coolant I put in is completely thrown out , I have looked everywhere online but i can't seem to figure out what goes there!

You have coolant lines that go to your throttle body, they crack eventually. And are quiet a bitch to get to. Your best bet would be to remove your intake manifold to replace the lines...

You can just cap the lines the run through the throttle body at the source. Done it for all my cars without an issue

I appreciate the help! But I'm still wondering why it's doing it now? There was nothing connected to the port closest to the front .. It literally dumps out everything from my radiator if I drive the car now

I put the clear hose on there to redirect the coolant being dumped, people have told me I can cap off the port so I'm gonna try that and see if it works

Looks like one of the lines that runs to the throttle body or IACV. You can go ahead and cap it off without an issue

You can just follow this bypass guide and you'll get rid of those coolant lines that have no purpose at all except for cold starts. Not to mention car might be a micron faster due to lower intake temps.
