I have a coolant leak on the right side of my car. I think it's coming from the intake.

Hi,
If possible, take a few pictures showing where you see it coming from.
If you can't do that, the best way to find the leak is by using a pressure tester, which is very easy.
Here is a link that explains how it is done:

This test is done on a cold engine which gives you the chance to locate the leak without being burned. You will need the pressure tester. If you don't have one, most parts stores will lend one to you.
Let me know if this helps. Also, a few pics may help me identify possibilities.
Take care,
Joe
