coolant leaking after intake mani removal

[theother1wstolen]

i just got my intake back on today and it has a brand new felpro gasket on it, but its pouring coolant out of the intake where it meets the head (where the coolant goes into the head) and i cant pull it back off at the moment because its storming outside, so i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas what might have went wrong?

Check all your clamps on all your hoses. If everything is good , then rent a radiator pressure tester to see where the leak is coming from.

it appears to be leaking out from in between the intake mani and the head (the part directly across from where the radiator hose goes in) and im quite certain the bolts are tight enough

im starting to wonder if i put my top gasket on backwards and somehow missed it... ill keep you guys posted lol

Naw, Just another student of life that learned a lesson that they will NEVER forget. You just learned yours in public.

We have all learned things the same way at one time or another.

well i got lucky and it didnt break when i pulled the manifold off off because i hadnt fired up the car yet, but when i did i heard a vacuum leak and found out that it was two of the rubber hoses going from the pcv line to the intake, so when i pulled it off that time, it ripped :-\ new gasket time lol
