Default coolant leak in throttlebody

I got my motor all together after having some major timing issues, and when i went to fill it up with coolant, I noticed it was streaming out of the throttlebody, when i opened up the throttle plate, about 20+ oz of fluid came out??? The motor is a stock gsr so you know how the intake manifold is shaped. No fluid was getting into the cylinders, I checked. Where could it be coming from? What should i replace. I have never driven this motor, still trying to get it going for the first time.

need a new tb gasket. Clean up all metal side of the intake manifold and the tb. Then try it again. and torque it down to spec.

The throttlebody has never been removed from the manifold.. how would the gasket all of a sudden go bad?
