    I did take it off but cant tell where it is coming from...Are there coolant lines that go to the throttle body??? and if my Tb wasnt tight could this be a problem because its a brand new gasket

    the coolant flows through the TB on the bottom of it. its to heat it up for cold weather.

    I'm assuming n/a L36?

    Yes, if the TB nuts are not tightened properly, or if they can't be because the retained nuts in the UIM are spun, or the UIM is cracked, warped or broken, or the TB gasket is broken or rolled or not installed right, then coolant will spill out between the UIM and TB.
