Coolant in intake

[DJ]

Removed carb to be greeted with a puddle of coolant in intake.Ran fine 4 plus years ago sat in garage, ran extremely rough today. Thought carb was the problem.Was going to try carb off smooth running engine in other jeep, only to see coolant in intake. Suggestions as where to start trouble shooting?

You'll need the head off to accurately inspect for cracks.
