pretty bad leak--anyone else? comments?

I was driving home yesterday night and I caught this smell of radiator fluid, and it wasn't until this morning, when the car was on that I noticed a dripping of radiator fluid from the back of the engine. I went through the old threads and the Haynes manual--and the best I could come up with is some sort of hose back there. The specific area I am referring to is near the throttle body.
My question: I was wondering if anyone else experienced a leak back there--where the liquid (radiator) is dripped into the center of the car. And what hose is back there that needs to be fixed?
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear it. thanks for all your help. I went to one place and he said he needs to take off the throttle body in order to get to it--costing $400!! crazy...

thanks guys,

there is a hose thats connected to the throtle body that has coolant running through it. If that hose is bad, then you need to get another one. Its a tight squeze but all you need is a little patience and you can do it without removing the throtle body. And by the way taking the TB off is not that difficult anyone can do it takes me 30mins or less. Irs not worth throwing 400 dollars away. It will be alot better if you had pics.
