Coolant leak and other stuff 8516VT

I'm about finished with changing head gasket and noticed a coolant leak that appeared to come from metal pipe under intake manifold. I removed intake manifold (again) and noticed that the manifold gasket where metal pipe bolts onto manifold is crushed and ripped. I have not started the car since I replaced the manifold gasket as part of head gasket replacement. Did I over tighten the intake manifold bolt. I used a torque wrench and followed bently specs. Where does coolant leak from, the bolt hole?
Other questions, I noticed two bolt holes on the drivers side block under the intake manifold and I don't know why they are there. The only thing I have bolted onto the drivers side block is the knock sensor. One hole is near the starter bracket and is on horizontal part of block. The other hole is just above and to the left of that and is vertical.
