You sure it's an intake hose? There are coolant lines going to the throttle body.

edit: intake hose=intake or vacuum line?

well i am pretty sure all the hoses are on the right spot.. labels and book says i got em all right.. and what i mean by intake hose is the line that goes between the mass air flow sensor and the efi unit or whatever its called

coolant in the large duct which runs over the top of the radiator fan?
it's possible the auxilary air valve (under the throttle body) is leaking internally and the pressure in the cooling system is pushing water up into the throttle body where it then is running towards the air filter.

ok the aux air valve is a small black little thing with 4 hoses and a wire running to it? if so yeah the coolant is being pushed up the hose into the throttle body.. but i had a spare one of these lying around and switched it out.. no diffrence.. is this supposed to be electronically controled?

Just leave the coolant in the intake. It will cool the air as its going into your engine, sort of acting like a cold air intake......
