Default coolant leak

I have owned my 05 s-type with a 4.2, I had a coolant leak caused by a cracked reservior tank, I thought that was something simple, just replace the reservior. Well, I did that and not its leaking from behind the intake manifold. Should I take it to a dealer for repair or is this something I can repair myself. I am mechanically incline and know a litte bit about wrench turning. Anybody have any advise?

It's quite possible the the clips that hold the hose in place (Reservoir to engine) almost half way down center came off or is not fitted right, I think the way it would leak would show it from the intake side.
