Default Mini-Me Problems antifreeze leaking from somewhere

I got my mini-me back in my car today and take it for a lil drive and now im leaking antifreeze from somewhere on the intake manifold it looks like but i cant really tell where exactly. anyone know where it might be leaking from? also my car accelerates with me not even touchin the pedal i checked out the throttle cable and when i push the throttle the cable bends and isnt tight so it becomes stuck to always accelerate and i was wonderin what would fix that? i need my car runnin right for honda day on saturday so any help would be greatly appreciated

k i had the same problem after my swap i changed intake manifolds even bought a new gaskit from autoparts and to my surprise i was leakin from the intake manifold i guess the autoparts gaskits are a piece of **** so i had to use that gaskit sealer thing so seal it and what do you mean it accelerates by itself???? does it accelerate and decelerate are the rpms goin up and down or they staying high ?

Check the coolant lines running to and from the iacv on the back of the intake manifold.

so you were leaking antifreeze from the actual intake manifold from where it connects to the head? i tried having someone look at it last night but we had no lights and couldnt see anything so we're gonna check it today

i had a leak when i did my mini me, i had to T off one of the coolant lines coming from the block to the Fast Idle Valve and a nozzle on the intake manifold. make sure also to use those screw type clamps not the original clamps, had bad luck with those

I checked and the leak isnt coming from there. when i looked i saw all of the antifreeze was leakin from the drivers side and when i looked i saw drips coming from somewhere on the block near the alternator. anyone know what that could be?

if its leaking from near the alternator, it might be the waterpump gasket.
