Default Coolant leak

I found coolant leak today but can't figure out where it's coming from. Can see coolant under intake. Seems to be coming from left front of engine. Checked all hoses and around thermostat housing and water pump but can't find source. Any hints?

First guess is the valley hoses that run under the intake manifold. Not a real big deal but better done DIY unless you have lots of hundreds to invest in professional repair.

Common issue. This is where mine was leaking. Not a difficult repair, took me a weekend.

Ugg, I my have the same issue. I just put a dex dye pack in to see if I can find my leak. If it's the valley hose I think that's a bit beyond my wrenching.
