A blown head gasket can allow coolant to see into the manifold, and out the exhaust. A broken piston ring can also cause this problem.

Why is Coolant leaking on the lower passenger side on my 96 lumina?
most likely heater core leaking
What could be the cause of a coolant leak on the back of the engine on a lumina 97 so that the coolant seeps down through the side of the transmission pan?
This sounds like a common problem with the 3.1L and 3.4L v6 of the lower intake manifold leaking. TechJK ----------------------
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.
Can a coolant leak in a 2002 Bonneville be fixed?
In general, yes a coolant leak in a 2002 Bonneville can be fixed. The issue whether it is worth the money to fix the leak. If the coolant is leaking from an upper or lower coolant hose, the repair is simple and inexpensive. If the coolant leak is from the radiator, it will be a bit more difficult and/or expensive to repair. Moving up the scale, if the coolant leak is coming from a manifold gasket, it will be still more expensive. Likewise for a coolant leak from the heater core. And at the upper end of the scale, if you are leaking coolant from a cracked engine block, you're looking at replacing the engine.
Will a leaking lower intake manifold gasket ruin a engine?
It is possible if the leak is a "internal leak" - where the coolant is leaking inside the motor and mixing with the oil it will ruin the motor. This will eventually cause bearing failure. If it is an external leak - as long as you keep the coolant full and watch your temp gauge, you can get by for a while. Keep in mind - the leak will only get worse as time goes on.
19 98 Chevy pick up coolant leak?
Need to check all 4 corners of the intake manifold real close. The Intake gaskets are none for leaking-- common problem with that engine, Also need to check the heater hose fitting in the left rear of intake manifold.(Top side) If there is antifreeze on the lower radiator hose then the water pump is leaking. NEUTZ.
Your 1998 Isuzu rodeo started blowing big plumes of white smoke out the exhaust and also leaking coolant around the lower part of the manifold whats wrong?
Sounds like a blown head gasket. Have a mechanic do a compression test, and check for oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the oil, (white foamy material around top of fluid level.)
Where are the fuel injectors located on a 1997 tahoe 5.7?
They are located INSIDE the intake manifold. The manifold is in two parts: the lower is made of aluminum & the injector "spider" bolts to it & the individual poppet valves are attached by plastic fuel lines & snap into the lower manifold. The upper part is plastic, & mainly serves as an airtight cover. Updated replacements are available to replace the troublesome poppet valves & use individual injectors, but is still replace as an assembly. The aluminum lower manifold is another problem area, generally leaking coolant &/or oil. Most mechanics replace the "spider" with the updated version & the lower manifold, to fix a multitude of problems.
What does the lower coolant hose on the back side of the water pump hook into on a 2002 Ford Taurus?
The gas tank.
What do you do if a 1994 Chevy Corsica leaks antifreeze?
cry because its probaly lower intake manifold leaking which is 500-700 to fix
Whats wrong with my 2000 chrysler Concorde if its Leaking coolant at drain hole under coolant hose flange?
If it is leaking next to where the lower radiator hose attaches to the engine, the water pump has failed. That hole is the water pump weep hole.
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.
