Default coolant in intake????

i been losing coolant. had the system pressurized no leaks at all. so i started to tear it apart and there was coolant in the intake behind the throttle body. i thought maybe bad intake gaskets. but after i took the intake off all the "orings" for the intake looked fine. i just want some second opinions before i go a tear all the way to the heads. thanks

maybe a cracked head and coolant is be inhaled by the pcv system.was it alot of coolant or small puddle?look at your plugs and do a compression check also.you mite have some moister condensation and its getting in the intake.

Coolant goes through the throttle body, its probably cracked etc.....i hope you didn't tear the intake and heads off yet.
