Mysterious coolant leak

Okay, got coolant pooling in the valley between the valve cover and the intake. Have checked the coolant lines and see no signs of leaks. The cooling line going through the base of the carb. is secure, and I would have thought that would have been the prime suspect... I'm stumped.
 
I have an intermittant leak in my carb warmer myself, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it leaks and I can see it. Water hose is old and cracking a bit.
 
Think I found my leak. Got a couple of pieces of aluminum foil and put them under the carb. coolant hoses and angled them down away from the valley. Cranked her up and a few minutes later saw some coolant on the foil. Tightened the clamps down a little more and let her run a little while longer. As of now I am not seeing any further leaks.
