Default Intake leak

I have a very minor coolant leak by the intake (I think) Has anyone else experienced this and can you confirm that it is from the intake?[IMG][/IMG] .

Looks like the water neck is leaking. To change the gasket you'll need to remove the throttlebody, or at least the bolts to it so you can move it over far enough to get at the water neck bolts.

No its not the neck... I should have posted this and my arrow points a little high. Its more under the bolt by the black bracket and the drips end up on the manifold at the tip of my arrow.

The only two blk. brackets I see are the AIR support (not into water jacket) and the egr sensor (blk. bracket) above waterneck.
I agree w/above, it is the waterneck. I would take it apart and install new gasket and use sealer on the mating sufaces (I also put a little on the bolts) .
