Throttle body leaking coolant

I think my throttle body on my 91 351 F-150 is leaking coolant. Is this just a matter of a gasket set or is it a sign of something more sinister?

It's either a hose (have 2) or the hose nipples on the TB. No coolant flows from the TB to the intake. It is just intended to speed up cold start warmup and prevent icing.
