Antifreeze Hissing/Leak Under Throttlebody

Antifreeze Hissing/Leak Under Throttlebody
Hoping someone has seen this before or can give me an idea of what I'm up against. When my temperature gauge gets to the middle / normal and the car is warmed up (usually about 1-2 miles) a hissing sound starts emanating from below the throttlebody and I start losing antifreeze like crazy.

Photo of antifreeze after driving 1-2 miles then parking in the driveway and letting it idle for 5 minutes:
The leak seems to get worse as the car warms up.

Yah this happened to me. Coolant goes into the throttle body to prevent some issues in really cold weather. Your hoses probably need to be replaced. Also the heater core hoses are in the same area so it could be one of those as well. Don't re-use the factory clamps get new ones.

you could do it as is, without removing anything. I've done it before.
The easiest way to do it would be to remove the UICP and strut bar (if you really really need more room). Some of the clamps might be a little tough to get to, but they'll come out. A few angled needle nose pliers also help.
Since you're doing all of that, you might as well change out your throttle body shaft seals.
