Coolant leak question

I have a coolant leak just underneath the carb of my 85GL right above the pcv valve. It looks like it is coming from the small golden metal tubes running from left to right...is that right? I have so many hoses down there it is hard to figure out where they originate. Advice would be appreciated on these suckers.

Yeah, there is coolant circulating through the throttle body of this car to prevent icing up, so theres a few coolant hoses going to the carbureator, or at least the intake manifold (can't remember exactly which, or if there's an internal passage between the two). Is the rubber hose portion leaking, or the actual metal? If it's hoses, just replace em however they are now (digital cameras are great for this)

 

I finally painted all the black hoses on my '85 different colors so I could tell what was vacuum, fuel, coolant, electrical wires, oil, power steering, etc.....
