Default LS6 intake issue

Hey guys after doing my LS6 swap my idle has been real funky. It sticks sometimes at 1400 when cruising then when I come to a stop it will slowly come down to 1000. I sprayed the entire intake down for leaks and nothing. I am also getting a really strong antifreeze smell to top it off. I hooked the car up to a scanner to do an IAC test while I can adjust it to 1200 and the idle moves. If I try to drop it down to say 500 nothing happens. I am stuck right now any advice would be appreciated thanks....

Make sure the TB is closing fully, make sure the linkage is not binding on something or possibly twisted in its routing. If you smell antifreeze, check the level and search for a leak under the hood.

Ok found the issue after doing a smoke test on it. It is leaking at the back connector thats bolts into the intake. My question is does this come out and if so how? 2nd is there a gasket for it? If it doesnt come out what is best to lock it into place? Thanks
