Exclamation Coolant Leak, Top of Engine

I'm currently chasing a coolant leak on my 92 truck (350 motor) and it is getting worse. The problem is the engine in dirty enough to mask the exact leak point. I do know this; I recently changed both upper and lower radiator hoses along with the thermostat. The leak is at the top of the motor, near the front so figure I messed up the thermostat housing. I replaced the housing gasket a second time thinking I might of screwed it up the first time, no change.

The only other thing I can figure, based on the apparent leak location, is the intake manifold? The coolant is pooling on top of the manifold at the front, passenger side, bolt location? It's to the point where I'm checking and toping off the overfloww bottle every other morning now.
