coolant leak?

I blew the old S4 motor so i put in a used S5 motor my buddy had with all the S4 manifolds , turbo, lines everything. The car started right up but i noticed its building up coolant in that little valley that forms were the lower intake manifold meets the motor. could this be because i used the old LIM gasket? or is this something worse. I havent driven the car yet because i dont want to cause any damage to this motor but it does start fine so can any one help me out with some info?
