Default Coolant leak after replacing LIM gasket

I was getting a leak down the right side of the bell housing. Figured doing the lower intake would correct the issue. After putting it back together, it still is leaking but I can not see where from. Anybody else come across this and what did you find was the issue? Heater hoses are not leaking. I guess the only other things it could be are a cracked intake manifold, cracked head, or a blown head gasket. But it doesn't run rough or blow white smoke. I'm desperate. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Added dye to the cooling system. Ran the black light between the firewall and engine. Seems like it is going to be the head gasket on the left bank. Getting a glow from that area. At least I hope it is just the gasket...
