What type of car? On GM cars which have the 6 cylinder engine, at about 60,000 miles the intake manifold gaskets will start leaking and the dripping will be at the center of the car. The OEM gaskets are thick and will begin to leak. I had to have the gaskets replaced on my 1999 Oldsmobile Minivan and another was in for the same repair. Then when I was having my oil changed a LeSabre was in the shop for the same thing. I have talked with several mechanics and they say this is a common occurrence. It would appear that GM would have issued a recall before they became Government Motors.
