What engine? I'm sure there are guys that recognize the picture but others might know something just from words.

That seems like a lot of coolant laying around. Not clear how it would get there from the seam of where the part meets the manifold. Some of the puddles are above the seam.

Looks like one of those crossover tubes, which are known leak areas across several engines. Might be running down the tube from above, not leaking from the manifold attachment point.

So i know its coming from the backside of that piece cause it bubbles from it when its running, its 2002 5.4 motor i was just womdering if the whole.intake had to come.off or if that is a seperate piece

I have a vague memory of watching a video where the guy said that the bolts that hold the tube on have to be accessed from underneath. Can't be reached without removing the manifold. I'll see if I can find it but in the meantime here's a couple of videos. Actually I found it. It's the second one. Have fun.

Probably a cracked manifold.

I don’t know for sure, but think the 5.4 2v is similar to 4.6 2v. If so, this guy explains issue with manifold/crossover/leaks pretty well in a couple mins:
