Can pure antifreeze leak from a cylinder head without oil traces in it and can antifreeze leak from an intake gasket?

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...

What may be the problem is antifreeze is leaking in the engine compartment up by the fire wall in the middle of the motor but not in the vehicle and it is not coming from heater hoses?
if it appears to be coming from where the cylinder head meets the engine block, it is the head gasket. if it appears near the intake manifold and head, it is the intake gasket (or intake AND exhaust gasket on a straight six or Chrysler slant six). if it is coming from the engine block it is a freeze plug. some v-6 and v-8 engines are common for springing coolant leaks at the intake gaskets.
When a car engine is blown what part of it broke?
could be rings bearings or a head gasket, if its seized and won't turn over its the bearings or a broken connecting rod or cam or crankshaft. if it runs but blows oil it's fried rings, and if it blows antifreeze out its the head gasket, also if you get water in your oil or the radiator is low and doesn't leak its blowing antifreeze into your intake and can seize the bearings etc. :)
What causes antifreeze to leak to oil?
Most likely a blown head gasket. Or if you own a GM it's probably the intake manifold gaskets. There is a class action law suit that has been settled , but getting any cash will be a chore. I have a 96 GMC and just changed them for the second time.
Coolant leak somewhere on your 1996 Pontiac grand am you have been told by mechanics that the block was cracked or the intake manifold gasket was shot but no coolant in oil and car runs ok ad water?
there wouldn't be any coolant in the oil if your intake manifold gasket is shot. so its the gasket. A cracked block or cylinder head would render the motor unstartable, so that's a lie from the mechanic. Find a different one you can trust.
White smoke coming out of the tailpipe?
White smoke exhaust usually means either a head gasket leak or an intake gasket leak. Both are cheaper to repair sooner than later.
Can a intake manifold gasket cause antifreeze to leake?
Yes. Antifreeze is actually pumped through the intake manifold. If the gasket is bad it is possible that it leaks out
96 silverado 5.7 antifreeze in oil?
intake gasket or head gasket
How does antifreeze get into the intake?
either you blew a rod or a gasket.
What causes a Chevrolet 350 motor to have antifreeze on intake?
Probably a gasket leak. Could be the intake gaskets or the thermostat gasket.
Can antifreeze get into cylinder by way of intake gasket on a Chevrolet Equinox with a 34 engine?
They're all V-6's and yes it's possible to blow a head gasket but usually by overheating
Where could engine coolant be leaking from on rear topside of engine on a 1998 350vortec it pours coolant out but can't see where from?
It is common for the intake manifold gasket to leak antifreeze from the corners of the intake. Need to replace intake gasket. Be sure to look closely at the intake were the gasket seals against it for pitts in the intake. There is a heater hose that goes into the intake on right rear corner in the back, but uo on top of intake. check closely.

If your intake manifold gasket is no good will antifreeze leak out?
Yes, you need to replace your intake gaskets.
Antifreeze is leaking from the intake manifold what causes this?
most time it is caused by intake gasket failure
What is a intake gasket?
The intake gasket is the gasket that conncects from your air filter into your intake manifold
Where is the intake manifold gasket?
Between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
Will antifreeze leak from the head gasket if it is a manifod leak?
If it is leaking from a bad head gasket, it is because of a bad head gasket. If it is leaking from a bad intake manifold gasket, it is because of a bad intake manifold gasket.
Where is internal antifreeze leak getting into exhaust skystem in a 3800 engine?
A gm 3.8 l v6 or 3800 cc engine cannot have antifreeze in exhaust without first getting into the engine. If its getting into the exhaust it may be entering the cumbustion chambers through a damaged cylinder head or head gasket. Also this engine depending on the model year may have issues with the intake manifold gasket, that can cause antifreeze to leak into the engine oil.
