Coolant Leak!

Unfortunately on my way to work last week, i started to notice the coolant temperatures going up. When I got to work, there was a small puddle of coolant under the car. I did my thing, and at 5, I topped off the coolant before heading home. Temps were over half way, but I was able to keep it out of the red by turning the car off at the stop lights. Once i got home I looked under the hood, and there was coolant on the block below the intake manifold. My guess was that the mess of hoses under there were probably leaking somewhere, so i ripped into it. I found the leak, and repaired it. While I was in there I ended up removing the throttle body heating plate, and all the extra hoses at the same time.
