Just noticed a few drops of coolant around the 2nd intake bolt back from the front on the driver's side about a week ago. Hard to tell where it's coming from, but didn't see or feel anything around the upper radiator hose - water neck connection. Re-torqued the intake bolts, but noticed some fluid again tonight. 350 SBC by the way.
Any advice for a novice would be appreciated.

Sounds like the good ol' intake gaskets taking a dive on you...
