2002 2.5 awd/auto..hopefully located coolant leak....left hand side of engine....a pool of coolent sitting below where the two metal pipes join..{just beside intake manifold}...not sure if coming the pipe joint?....where else could be the leak be from?...... Could it be the Intake Manifold Gasket or the dreaded Head Gasket ? ...Any thoughts most welcomed!

@ Harry
You will most likely need to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds to gain access to locate source of leak.
There is a black pipe that connects to water pump and runs under the lower intake manifold towards the front of the engine. I have seen this pipe corrode through and leak. There should also be a rubber hose under as well, this could also be leaking.
Another possibility - in your picture, where the blue circle is. Just to the left of that is a junction, I've circled it in yellow. This is held in by 1 bolt, and there is an o-ring that has been known to leak. Odds are its the pipe or hose below the intake manifold.
