sigh yet another problem. Okay here is the deal, drove about 20 miles on the highway then to my house. Pulled it in the garage and let it idle for a little while, checked the oil pressure gauge and its almost to the white line towards "L", probably 3 millimeters away from that line so i'm like WTF. popped the hood and I see some steam goin from under the throttle body. I looked down in there and it is soaking wet. Also coolant is laying on the intake manifold runners in the little dips just below each injector. I can't seem to find where this leak is coming from and I let it run to try and see where but nothing. Any help or related problem that you have fixed?
NOTE: I couldn't really find any oil laying anywhere... and I checked the oil and it is full
 
and check the heater hoses, one of mine got a hole in it last week. one of them comes off the back of the water neck and the other one comes off a small metal pipe off where the lower radiator hose is attached.
 
Keep in mind that the cooling system is under pressure when the engine is running, so even a pinhole leak is going to spray all over. Both the coolant hoses to the FIAV on the throttle body and the hoses to the heater core tend to leak. It wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them and the hoses to the oil cooler just to be safe.
