umm well i have an s4 tII. but there is coolant underneath the upper intake manifold. I just need ot get it off so i cna find exactly where it is leaking from. I think it is either one of the bac lines or some other coolant seal in that area. it drips down onto the downpipe heatshield when the car is running and onto the ground as well. SO i need to fix it. If anybody has some tips to get that sucker off i';d appreciate it.

ok i used a damn 2 foot crow bar and the thing didn't budge. i undid all 4 nuts and the long bolt. I also undid the nut that is attached to the trottle body and the intercooler bracket. SO there shouldn't be anything left holding it on. Can anybody please help!
