  We present observations of redshifted CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) in a field
containing an overdensity of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z=5.12. Our
Australia Telescope Compact Array observations were centered between two
spectroscopically-confirmed z=5.12 galaxies. We place upper limits on the
molecular gas masses in these two galaxies of M(H_2) <1.7 x 10^10 M_sun and
<2.9 x 10^9 M_sun (2 sigma), comparable to their stellar masses. We detect an
optically-faint line emitter situated between the two LBGs which we identify as
warm molecular gas at z=5.1245 +/- 0.0001. This source, detected in the CO(2-1)
transition but undetected in CO(1-0), has an integrated line flux of 0.106 +/-
0.012 Jy km/s, yielding an inferred gas mass M(H_2)=(1.9 +/- 0.2) x 10^10
M_sun. Molecular line emitters without detectable counterparts at optical and
infrared wavelengths may be crucial tracers of structure and mass at high
redshift.
