There is no coolant going through the intake.

Also the valley pan under the intake seals the motor, not the intake.

Those are just drain holes to let any liquid get down to the valley pan.

Passenger side front to back, 1 -3 - 5 - 7
Drivers side front to back, 2 - 4 - 6 - 8

No question you ask is stupid.

You ask questions in the quest for knowledge.
Knowledge is never stupid.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask, cause you will never learn that information.
