That puddle is on top of the intake, right?

If so, I’d think it was a leak from the upper radiator hose at the thermostat or leftover coolant that got spilled when you did the radiator.

Right where intake meets head on drivers side.. I'm hopin it's a dribble from old radiator. Hose n thermostat housing both bone dry. Gonna run it tmrw n see if it builds up more.

Blow it dry with compressed air, or wipe it dry with paper towels. Inflate it with a pressure tester borrowed from a parts-store "loaner tool" program, see what gets wet again.
