Default Antifreeze on top of engine

Hi, I have an 02 Camaro with about 84,000 miles. My issue is the other day I noticed smoke coming from the engine bay; I checked it out and I noticed some antifreeze pooling on the top of the engine, on what looks like the intake manifold; I was low on antifreeze, so I topped it up; the funny thing is I was not overheating, or even running hot. I am thinking that it might be a manifold gasket. Has anyone ever heard of this? Thanks

Could be a leak at the thermostat housing. Had that just the other day on my daily driver, and found a crack in the housing.
