Default '04 Intrepid antifreeze leak problem

Hi all, new here and hoping someone can answer our question!

Just had the coolant inlet block and intake gaskets replaced for antifreeze leak. Now the mechanic says it's leaking farther back somewhere but can't find where. It does drip from time to time. He says we need to take to a Chrysler dealer. He is an excellent mechanic and even he is stumped!

What size engine do you have? Do you have antifreeze leaks at the front or rear of the engine? I have a 2.7 and just did an engine swap and had to bleed the air out of the system using the air bleed valve at the front of the engine and noticed a tube that goes the length of the engine (and is also under the intake and heads.) The end of the tube sticks out just beneath the throttle intake at the back of the engine and has a short hose that connects to the firewall(heater core). After my install it was leaking at that point, i replaced the the stock clamp with a clamp that you screw to tighten. Leak stopped. hope this info helps.
