Throttle body defroster?
Antifreeze was spraying outaround the 2 hoses @ the throttle body. A local mechanic gave me a quick fix bycapping off the hoses & saidit looked like the "throttle heater" was cause .. alsosaid I shouldn't have a problem until it gets cold. Only part I could find online is a throttle body defroster ( ~$20).Do I need a gasket(s) with this replacement? I couldn't find apicturethat would helpIDdetails. This doesn't look too difficult but I don't want to tear it off to find out I can't put back together inthedriveway.

There is a new Rover updated kit to repair that very common problem, or you can do as I did and use a small piece of coper pipe and join the two hoses togeteher, works great here in Colorado.
Thanks for the help!! Very glad to find this forum! I'm going to give it a closer inspectiontomorrow night, if I get stumped, I'll add note here...Stay turned for my next issue
