Coolant leaking from 88 V6

Coolant is leaking from behind the timing belt cover on my 3vze but when I took the timing belt cover off, it wasn't leaking from the water pump or thermistat. But it is wet behind the upper pulley bearing and the bolts holding it were not very tight. Has this happened to anyone else or has anyone heard of a coolant leak from the intake manifold?
Any help appreciated!

It sounds like your #2 idler pulley just lost its seal. Take it off, put a new bead of RTV on it and tighten it down. Here is a pic of my #2 idler replacement that might give you some idea of what's going on.
