Coolant in intake manifold

I have coolant in my intake manifold. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is the endplate o-ring seal bad?

wrong answer we do have coolant in our intake manifold you probably have a bad laminiva core seal in the intake your best bet is to replace all of them and pay close attention to how it all comes apart

correct and there is 16 washers 2 on each side of the laminovas pay attention to the placement order of the washers it is important to put them back the way they come off or you will get another leak

Thanks a lot! I thought I blew a head gasket but it looks like this is why I am blowing out white smoke.
