Default What's leaking here??

SOLVED LOL:

I just need some conformation before I start ordering gaskets. Head gasket I assume? I'll probably just do both anyways... Also, how much work am I in for?
Here's a video after warming it up, was unplugging the battery and noticed the leak on the left head where it meets the intake..:

I'm doing the head gasket on my 02 v6 camaro base. A shop I took it to said about 16 hours of labor for a professional. I've put in about 10 already and I'm getting ready to remove the fuel rail and intake manifold then exhaust manifolds then valve covers. I'm labeling every single thing I'm disconnecting and making detailed notes too. Might be intake manifold gasket on that leak but kinda hard to tell from the video. I'm also not a professional nor do I have much experience just a guess. Craby should chime in here in the morning

dry it out and see if you can see where its coming from. could be from somewhere else and draining there. are you losing coolant?

I washed my car before warming it up and must have forgot my low coolant light comes on everytime I get to operating temp. So I'm thinking it was just water because I warmed it up today and no leaks or loss of coolant.
I need to clean my coolant sensor, I think it's just dirty.

I'm very relieved but kinda let down as I've been trying to pinpoint a slight misfire and started contemplating new heads and a cam lol I think I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it was just water.
