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?

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