NO. You MUST replace the intake gasket.
By replacing the whole gasket.
no, You will have to replace the intake gasket, CAUTION DO NOT USE STOP LEAK.
No, nothing will fix a blown head gasket except replacing it. Sealer are only used in an emergency situation as a temporary fix.
The only fix for a bad intake gasket is to remove the intake manifold and replace the gasket.
With a new valve gasket
no you need to replace the lower intake gaskets . P.S. should have the rear head checked for leaks also they are known to leak also
I have a 98 Malibu and I know from experience that antifreeze can leak from the intake gasket. It cost me $400 to fix it. At first we thought it was tranny fluid because it was pink, not that! I have Dexcool in my car and that is what was leaking from the intake. Common problem for the 3800 II; GMs` later 3800s have ALUMINUM intakes; I guess they found the problem, yet they didn`t choose to fix the other cars.....bastards...
replace leaking part and or the gasket where the leak is occuring. check all hoses to make shure its not leaking from the hose
IMO, this is only a temporary emergency fix. It will not permanently fix the problem. You will need a new head gasket.
not usually
An exhaust leak is usually the result of a bad gasket or a cracked manifold. For a proper fix, either the gasket or both the manifold and the gasket must be replaced.
You take off the carburater and the intake. Clean the old gasket off and install the new one.
