OK. i can see fluid leaking from between the lower intake manifold and the block directly above the water pump and opposite of the thermostat on the upper intake manifold. Not sure where the leak could be coming from. After recently flushing my coolant system i noticed a few days later a hissing when i turned off the engine. At first thought it was a blown lower intake gasket but after research im not sure how that can be unless theres another gasket sealing a coolant flow into the block between the two. It's too dark now but i will take a another look at it tomarrow after work. If you can help me out at all it would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunatley, all you can really do is clean the area up and try and detect where the leak is coming fomr. There are also kits available that you can put a dye in the coolant and pressurize the system to make it easier to fing.
