I have a coolant leak from an O-ring in the pipe that runs from the water pump

What is your question?

to the water manifold at the rear of the engine the leak is where the pipe connects to the water manifold. the pipe has a bleed fitting that connect to the center top of the engine. is there enough clearance between the top of the pipe and the bottom of the intake manifolds to lift the bleed fitting out and pull the pipe out or do I need to remove the intake manifolds?
