Why is there coolant there?
Yesterday I took the convertible out and discovered a leak. Specifically, once the engine was fully warmed up, there was coolant bubbling out past the front intake manifold bolt (the one next to the L-shaped tube connected to a heater hose).
I'm hoping this is just a loose bolt, and not a sign that the manifold needs to come off and the gasket replaced. Any ideas? |

Tighten all intake bolts to 40 lb/ft and see what happens.

tighten everything
Do what Banshee said and, also, check the heater hose for pin hole leaks and tighten its clamp. Check the thermostat housing gasket and the upper radiator hose for pin hole leaks and thighten its clamp. I have had both those areas leak after the cooling system built up pressure from heat and squirt to another area. Good Luck
