The engine smokes

There is a coolant leak somewhere around the intake manifold and it's burning (smoking) on the exhaust manifold. Do you think it's those two seals in the intake manifold?

I had a 79 12A 10 years ago so im kind of rusty but if you are loosing coolant and the smoke looks like steam it sould be.

They probably didn't seat properly. Smear some grease on them so they stay in place when you put the manifold back on.
