Coolant hose leak. A coolant hose from the intake manifold that runs from the intake to the back of the engine. Do I need a diagram to trace the hose?

I am not sure what you are talking about, but I can tell you there is a metal heater hose that is connected to the rear of the water pump that can rust out and leak from under the exhaust manifold. please go over this guide to find the leak:

Hello Ken I gave you the wrong information. It is a small coolant hose. From throttle or plenum. It runs in back on left side engine. 305 horse power engine. 4 valve per cylinder.
