I'm looking for possibilities...please share if you've encountered something similiar.

I've slowly been leaking coolant.

Just the other day it went gnarly.

Under intake manifold near cooling hose leading to water pump.

Doesn't seem to be coming from any side of the hose???

Perhaps from the manifold itself.

?

Very probably the hose, you just can't see the crack or it is leaking at the barb. First maybe try tightening the clamps.

That one under the manifold to the pump is very leak prone since it is harder to change than the rest and also gets the most oil.

If you don't know that all the hoses are under five years old, change them all at once and save yourself many headaches down the road.

regards,

I also had a very slight leak when I first got my '02, there was a little puddle of green on the intake manifold. I tighted up the hose clamps, and never saw it again. I'd try that, and if it doesn't work, like Zenon said, look into at least inspecting your hoses for cracks.
