Default Coolant Leak

I have coolant leaking from above my bell housing area. Seems to be only on the left (driver) side. I searched around for probably a half hour and have found no leaks. You can see the leaks on both sides of the exhaust pipe that crosses underneath. I honestly don't know what coolant would be leaking from that area. This trucks killing me!

The most likely cause is the lower intake manifold gaskets. Common problem. Just be sure to use the updated Felpro gaskets with the metal frame.

There are two tech articles on the subject! Seems that the tech article section gets overlooked though...
