Yeah, I'm hoping for the cold water leak thing. I found a couple threads that mentioned that. I just haven't really found any info on a leak in my particular area. I know 617 cracked heads are pretty rare but, not knowing the full history of the car, it still has me slightly concerned and I'm just looking for other opinions.

I was thinking heater hoses at first too, but those mostly seem too far back or too far forward, I don't know of any heater hoses that would allow coolant to leak onto the engine just below the intake manifold and just behind the exhaust manifold. But then, I really don't know too much...
