I took my 99 Tahoe to a mechanic because I had to add dexcool twice in 2 months There is no coolant in my oil He said I had to replace my intake manifold gasket Could it be the water pump?
There is coolant on the ground occasionally. How will I know when the intake manifold gasket is leaking
Where to find coolant leaks 1998 Chevy Lumina?
A good place to look for Coolant Leaks is around the Intake Manifold, as if the engine has recently started to run rough, this could be a definite sign of a bad intake manifold gasket. Unfortunately, the cost of this type of repair at the local Clip Joint can end up costing you $800.
Why is your 1996 Silverado burning coolant?
by "burning coolant" do you mean that there is the smell of burning coolant? or do you mean that your coolant level is constantly needing to be topped off and you don't know where it is going? if you smell burning coolant you have a leak somewhere and its probably dripping onto the exhaust. you need to find the leak. if you are constantly leveling off and there is no coolant leaking under the vehicle it could be a blown head gasket. check your oil for coolant contamination. pull the dip stick and check the color of the oil: dark, almost black in color=good; lite creamy brown (like creamy coffee) =blown head gasket. or it could be a blown intake manifold gasket instead of head gasket. 1996 silverado has a two piece intake manifold, an upper and lower intake manifold.
Can a head gasket leak without overheating or coolant loss?
It is possible that the gasket could leak between cylinders. The overheating and coolant loss would happen if the gasket was failing around the coolant passages.
What could be the cause of an engine running rough in a 1997 Chrysler Concorde?
i had the same problem, had tried everything and finally found out that the intake gaskets were prone to leak water around the number 5 cylinder. It would cause the gasket to leak around the intake port and make the engine run ruff. Also do you have a coolant leak and have to keep adding coolant this is were it will be at. hope this helps.
Can a bad head gasket cause coolant to go inside intake manifold?
No, the head gasket is underneath the heads where they mount onto the block. Your intake manifold is bolted to the top of your heads. Some motors have coolant that circulates in the intake manifold ( I don't know what year or make your vehicle is ) so I would check my shop or repair manual. There could be a crack where the coolant flows through your intake manifold or one of the manifold gaskets may need replacing.
Have a 1988 Chevy impala with a 305 burning coolant what could be the cause?
a bad head gasket or intake manifold gasket.
What is the most likely cause of coolant leaking from the rear of the engine in a 2000 blazer?
You need to climb up and lean over the engine and run your fingers around the back 2 corners of the intake manifold and see if you get antifreeze on them. They are none for the intake gaskets to leak engine coolant. It is a common problem with the vortec engines. There are also 2 freeze plugs in the back of the engine where the fly-wheel is bolted to the engine that could be leaking engine coolant. There is also a heater core hose that goes into the rear left corner of the intake that could be leaking. The hose fits into a quick disconnect fitting that screews into the intake. It is common for the fitting to leak too,
Could the intake manifold gasket in a 4.2L V6 be the cause of all cylinders getting coolant in them you did a compression check and all was good Cant figure out how coolant is getting into all the c?
Sounds like the head gasket may be leaking to allow the coolant to get in the oil but it it still sealing well around the cylinders. Yes, lower intake manifold gasket is probably leaking. Very common in 1997 and 1998 models. Good engine, just needs sealed up.
