Coolant leak top engine

I have a coolant leak and it's leaving a small puddle under the carb seen from the left side. What could be the problem and how much work is it to fix? The symptoms have be coolant on the floor usually a day or two after driving but not always and coolant low in the radiator. Its a 82RX Thanks

Leak is coming from the coolant passages in the intake manifold. Most likely worn out o-rings. A few bucks to fix if you just get new rings and replace them yourself.

Thanks! Is it a big job to remove the intake?

It can be annoying with all those vacuum lines on there, but it's not a hard job.
