coolant swimming pool on top of rotor housing
I was letting my car warm up before I went for a ride and I noticed alot of smoke coming from under the hood. My first reaction is the car is on fire. Then I see that it is coolant burning off. There was a huge puddle of coolant on top of the rotor housing between the lower intake manifold. I used a turkey baster to get the coolant out and it was over 4 or 5 basters full. Where could this be coming from? The car has no heat and the coolant was bypassed in the throttle body over 5 years ago. It looks like the coolant is coming from the back side of the motor, after I got most of the coolant out I restarted the car to watch where it was coming from but didn't see anything. It doesn't look like it coming from the water pump. Thanks

I pulled the intake manifold off but did not see anything coolant related. The throttle body is not plugged or
capped but nothing goes to it so I don't see why it would need to be. The water pump is capped in two locations
that went to the throttle body. I filled the coolant started the car again and didn't see any leaks I took it for a short
ride popped the hood and it was full again. I have no clue where this could be coming from. Any help would be
appreciated.
