This seems to be an intermittent problem. I out a new engine in 5 years ago. last spring I put on a new head gasket,intake gasket and other things that were required at that time. 3 months ago i had a small leak that went away,until today. it seems to be coming from under the throttle body around the intake. The problem is that i let it sit for 2 hours then drove to the gas station and them right back home. It is not doing it anymore,but I smell antifreeze when I open the hood. I seen a little bit of smoke but nothing leaking. I am at my wits end with this. Any help woudl be appreciated. Thanks
