Need your help to verify LIM leak

[howley71489]

Ok so its mostly on under the throttle body with little spots on the otherside next to power steering pump. My oil is fine as i check everytime i have to drive the car (try not to drive it) as there is not oil and coolant mixing(ive seen pictures of some coolant and oil mixing and it looks nasty). and it weird cuz it doesnt leak fast my low coolant light only has came on twice(recently) over two years. Im going to try and soak up as much as the coolant i can and run the car for while and try to see if any is coming from the heads

Welcome to the site!

Its hard to tell... But looking at your pictures, you have it pooling up on both sides of the engine? Have you looked at your oil yet? Typically, when the LIM gaskets go back, they leak internally, although I have seem some that leak externally like you are showing. But to be on both sides of the engine, either you are going to be really lucky if it didn't leak into the engine, or you are going to be in significant danger of having internal issues soon. I can't think of anything else besides the LIM that would cause coolant to pool up on both sides of the engine.

Can you see any traces of coolant having run down the side of the heads around where it is pooling? That middle picture looks like there might be some... I would definitely look inside the oil fill cap ASAP, and if it looks like a milkshake, stop driving the car until you can get it fixed. By that point, though, it may already be too late.
