Coolant in between intake runners

[nismoflip]

Leaking coolant towards back of engine on my gen 1. I see coolant between the runners looking down from the top. What’s back there? Thermostat and some cooling lines? Any tips before I start taking apart the intake manifold?

Thanks in advance

You are correct. Not easy to get to.

The heater core should be on that side as the lines from the radiator to the core.

Heater core should be on that side of the fire wall. Look for the leak there.

Itis a PIA, but you can take off the thermostat crossover without taking off the manifold. It is a lot easier to see what is going on if you just pull the manifold though.

Removing the wipers (flip covers & 2x13mm nuts) and cowl (4 phillips screws) will let you see and get to what's at the back of the engine,
