Default Coolant leak, need help (pics) pls

So I just notice today driving home from work when i got home there was a little bit of white smoke coming from my hood and realize the coolant bottle is empty, so i refilled and took some pics, does anybody know what parts these are and what I need to fix/replace. Thanks

first that coolant line you are using is water line for household stuff not automotive. second the part you circled is the PCV and it should not leak coolant since it has nothing to do with it. I would check the small lines going from the intake manifold to the throttle body, and then to the IAC ( back of manifold) OR even just replace all those lines cause they could have little hair line cracks. It'll only cost like 5 bucks. that type of hose like to get brittle after a while and tends to split and leak around connetions. hope you figure it out

Looks like a bunch of oil. Which is normal for a poorly cleaned engine. Check your intake manifold coolant lines for leaks around the ends.

thats what they all say. but just start up the car and see where it leaks from and dont drive your car if its overheating, then you blow the head gasket and warp the head
