Coolant leak, from the front passengers side of the engine.

Have had an on going coolant leak, from the front passengers side of the engine.

Thought maybe the head gasket, but the exhaust is/was clear, start-up is quick, and based on the amount of coolant I was loosing would produce really rough running of engine which it was not.

I then checked the water pump. When I got to the pump I could tell that it had been leaking for sometime.

I thought I had fixed it when I replaced the water pump. Yet to my dismay I found that I was still loosing coolant. Upon examination, I can see coolant on the passenger side of the oil pan. Following it up to the under side of the intake manifold where I loose sight of the trail.

I have also replaced and checked the thermostat/housing/and sensor below. All seem to be fine.

Coolant seems to be coming from the underside of the intake manifold, which of course I cannot see. Before taking more parts off to get a better look wanted to know what other coolant items are in this area? What could be leaking?

Thank you for the help!
