intake gasket leak
SSE'* are L36
SLE L36
SE L36.
But we do need to narrow it down to what engine you have. Could you post up a picture of it?
If the coolant is leaking at the bottom of the intake manifold(not the supercharger) then you need new lower intake manifold gaskets. You might as well buy a supercharger gasket and get that done too. Along with a gallon of coolant, 5 quart jug of oil, filter(because when you pull the lower manifold off, coolant will flow into your lifter valley then into the oil pan).
And it also depends on how much more you want to spend. Your taking quite a few things off the engine. So maybe a tune up at the same time?
Are you doing this yourself or taking it to a shop?

You are only seeing what is going on outside the engine. If your LIM gasket is deteriorating (which if you have never had it replaced, it is) you really should replace it before it start mixing fluids and causes you a real problem.
I would not consider myself a super mechanic, I've got basic knowledge and a lot of guts, and I've done this three times now. It'* not that hard of a process to take on and relatively cheap if you do it yourself.
