not likely on newer models, but on older ones it could be the fuel pump.
If you have that problem with a newer model it could be the head or head gasket, I just replaced intake &head gasket and installed a new head on a 2001 neon and the car started right up after having that problem.
Yes!
By replacing the whole gasket.
I wouldn't recommend it. Replace the gasket.
yes it can water can leak into the intake valley and get into your oil resulting in milky oil
check your oil to see if you have coolant in it. if you do your intake gasket needs changed.
It can leak oil out from the rear of the intake manifold gasket. The oil sending unit is right behind the distributor and it can leak oil too. There is also a gasket that fits on the bottom of the distributor where it goes into the intake that can leak. And the worse thing it could be is the rear main gasket leaking oil and you would have to remove the transmission to repair that.
I don't know which one was at fault but I replaced the head, the head gasket, and the intake manifold gasket.
lower intake gasket
intake gasket on rear of engine on top between intake and block 302's leak there alot
The Intake gasket is leaking, NOT THE HEAD GASKET. Replace the intake gasket
antifreeze leaks by the intake gasket into oil. deteriating bearings causing oil to leak by the bearing
Look down into the intake through the throttle body. If you see alot of oil in the intake the pan on the bottom of the intake is leaking. You will need to remove the intake and replace the plenumn pan gasket. I have seen this gasket leak and cause oil consumption as high as 1 quart in 250 miles.
