thats just it, it wasnt spitting out anything... i did the power steering cooler and that is working great.. i flushed it out and put in new 50/50... but its still over heating... i took off my intake and can see a crack... so im guessing thats it

Just a guess. Only way to find out, go for a drive and get it to operating temp....put the front end on ramps, shut the engine off, wait about 10 minutes and come back and look and see if coolant is leaking out anywhere.
Lots of times people look for leaks while the engine is running and hot.....but the pressure is not there to push coolant out of the small leak or crack.
