3800 Possible head gasket blown...

ok, coolant has been leaking out of my front valve cover gasket. it started after i installed my ss ic. the coolant leaks towards the 3rd cylinder fuel injecot. it kind of sits in the little whole that the injector goes into. it has done this for a week now. i took off the valve cover breather and i don't see anything milky inside at all. how long does it take for the oil and coolant to mix and form the milkiness. it is only leaking by the 3rd cylinder fuel injector.

More than likely your lower intake manifold is leaking. I have been hearing the SSIC's are a bitch to seal. Doesn't sound like you have too big of a problem, but I would fix it as soon as possible. Possibly the little yellow o-rings between the manifold and core are the likely culprit.
