If it's near the throttle body, could be one of the heater lines going to the TB. Should be one on each side of it. Check to see if they're worn out or loose.

could be one of the hoses going to the tb or the gasket. can do a bypass using one of these Corvette LT1 Coolant ByPass Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive or make one using pipe nipple from local hardware. heres a procedure
