    Could be something as simple as a heater hose, they go back there. It could be a core plug on the back of the block too.

    i reckon its more likely to be the heater hose at the back of the intake manifold, under the TB.
    easier to replace than the welch plugs. but if it's not it could be the welch plugs on the back of the heads or on the back of the block.
