Coolant Leak Please help!!!

[the dirty one]

I have a 2001 Grand Prix GTP 3.8l SCI have a coolant leak between the engine and transmission could anyone point out to me what it could be? I am new to this engine and have no clue? Intake gasket?, Crank seal? frost plug? There is no sign of a leak on the top of the engine. I have changed the elbows on the tensioner. Please if anyone could help!

Step one... clean area.

Step two... inspect and give us a better idea.... or even better pictures!

LIM gaskets, t-stat housing, LIM coolant passage gasket.... take your pick.

are you sure its coming from between the engine and trans? if so that would be a freeze plug, and your either pulling the engine or tranny to change it.

or it could be a heater core hose leaking, but that would leak down the fire wall behind the tranny and hit the down pipe.

Where is this lim gasket does anyone have a picture? Is that a lower intake gasket?

Lower intake manifold gasket. Take a pic of where it's leaking.

There is no sign of coolant on the top of the engine when I pressure test it the Coolant system the coolant leaks out from the bottom of the engine where the engine and trans join.
