Yesterday, after parking my car I noticed a little steam coming from under the hood. I noticed a little dripping from under the tb. Has anyone experienced this and what was your fix. Does anyone have the cooling system diagram?

There is a coolant line on the bottom of the throttle body. It's fairly short, you can just replace it.

The line is on the back side between the throttle body and firewall. It is a thick line, and goes down under the manifold. Check to make sure it is connected correctly. If no luck, try like Mahjik recomended try replace it.

If you don't want to just replace it, you can do the TB coolant bypass mod. You have to pop the TB off, which is kind of a pain (but not difficult, mind you), and adjust the thermal pellet screw thing (someone, help me out with the technical term here), and reroute the hose. There are some how-to's out there. My friend clayne and I did this to both his and my cars and now when it starts up there's no kind of RPM adjustment for being cold, so it sits at like 800 or so right on startup, which is ok by me

quick fix for your situation:
if the coolant hose to the tb is cut at the top by the clip. you can cut the ripped part off the hose and reconnect it. i dont recomend doing this more then twice, but it is a quick fix.

Just bypass it - you're in California, not Wisconsin.
