Coolant Bypass for 3800 V6?

Can you plug the TB coolant holes or bypass the coolant to the TB somehow?

Mine won't stop leaking on my GTP.

uh, the 3800s in 4th gens don't have coolent going through the TB so i doubt anyone on here would know anything about that. but the 3400s do and there's a way to bypass it.

On my Camaro I just filled the passageway in the tb with epoxy. The intake has 2 holes in it, and the tb has a trough. But if it's leaking, it's probably the gasket. So filling up the trough won't help in that case.
