Coolant leaking?
So I get to the hardware store this morning and after I shut the truck off I see steam coming out from under the hood. As I lift the hood I can see coolant dripping from the throttle body. Nothing around the gasket was wet or around the two coolant lines however the throttle linkage and IAC were soaked. I thought that weird since there isn't a water line there but that's what I was seeing. So I decided to forgo the hardware store and just get the truck back home so I could better assess the problem. The truck was running fine with no overheating problems. Now that I'm home I haven't seen a single drip of coolant and the truck seems to be running perfect. I am slightly confused right now.
The truck is a 1995 F150 with a bone stock 5.8 and about 140K miles. Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

There is a line that runs coolant through the throttle body and back to the engine through another line.
It's for cold weather.
You can bypass the throttle body (at least for summer anyway) with a single hose if it gives you more issues.
