Coolant on top of intake

About a month ago I replaced my head gaskets on my 87 bronco ii w/ 2.9L. Now I am loosing coolant. There seems to be puddles of coolant on top of the lower intake manifold between the valve covers. I have no idea where the coolant is leaking from. Any ideas?
So far I have not found coolant in the oil but I am not 100% sure because I may have found little traces of oil in the coolant (but it could be traces of some stop leak I put in cooling system not sure). Its still runs great and does not steam like a steam engine from the exhaust pipe any more.

Never mind guys and gals I found the culprit! The heater hose on top of the manifold has sprung a leak spraying coolant all over the top of the manifold. Boy oh boy I feel relieved thats its only the hose thank goodness! Thank you all, I should have looked into it more before posting sorry.
