Coolant pooling on top of manifold

So I went out to my truck today to start it and drive around the block since the weather was pretty warm. Hadn't started in about 3 weeks or so, maybe even four. She started right up like she always does, but when I looked under the hood to check things out, I noticed there were small pools of green coolant collected on top of the intake manifold, just next to the valve cover. I took a couple of pics below. Any idea what would cause this? I dried up the closest one and drove around the block. Came back and it was still dry. Exhaust was pretty clear, but when I got on the throttle, it would puff out white smoke, but only under a heavy foot. Looked like it was spitting fluid, but I think it was just water as the liquid was clear and didn't feel greasy. There are 4 pools on the passenger side only. Any thoughts? Bad gasket hopefully and nothing more than that I hope. You can see the pools by each of the bolts in the pics below. Thanks,
Jon
