Another 3rd gen leaking coolant

So I discovered a coolant stain under the t4r right under bell housing/steering rack and I can see residue above. It’s been parked in the garage for about a week and yesterday while replacing the seized fan pulley bracket I discovered the valley has coolant sitting in it.. I haven’t taken the upper intake apart yet to see if it’s that hose or what but where else should
I be looking?? I saw in a thread the lower intake manifold can leak into the valley. If that be the case is there a way I can disconnect the fuel rail without having to pull all the injectors?? I really don’t want to mess with those, ha. Thanks for any help!

Coolant leak in the valley is either the lower intake gaskets or the coolant lines on the throttle body
 
It could be, that's something I've been vocal about in the past. The gasket around the coolant ports was horribly corroded away when I changed mine and was hanging on by a thread - if I was to have left it I could very easily see it causing a leak into the valley or the adjacent intake valve by now. Unfortunately you do have to take off the fuel rails for it, which wasn't exactly fun
