Get a radiator pressure tester from your local loan-a-tool. Pump it up and inspect. I replaced coolant elbows once and had the o-ring not seat properly. Could be something that simple.

Also, did you ensure part of the elbow was not stuck in the intake?

Im possitve i got all the peices of plastic out of the intake and the alt braket. Im im pritty possitve I got the plastic elbows seat properly I used lucas on o-rings and slid right in..

As for water pump gasket Its a possiblity. Bec Puddle is right at the lower intake manifold and at the water pump. But U can NOT see were its comming from Pressure testing. its just No rooms to look and point out...

Im sure best thing to do would be just change the hole water pump if gasket leaking.

By the sounds of it its pritty much time for a complete REBUILD lol. Ill do waterpump and poof intake gasket next... Dam I donno wat to Do.. dont wanna dump crap loads money intoo it Becase once weather warms up the tranny gonna start to act up...
