Coolant leaking from somewhere on the back of block above starter. Replaced intake manifold gasket and still leaking. Possible freeze plug? Or a crack in block? No water in oil but it is a big leak.

You may need to get the car up on a hoist to find this leak. A cooling system pressure test and an inspection from under the car may locate this problem. A torch and a flexi head mirror are great tools for locating hard to see leaks as well. Flexi head mirrors are cheap and a great addition to your tool kit.
