Is it a good idea to use oil stop leak additive to stop oil leak from intake manifold gasket?
I wouldn't recommend it. Replace the gasket.
How do you change an intake manifold gasket on a 1998 Nissan altima?
Get a very good mechanic and dont plan on getting your car back the same day. Or buy a new gasket and remove the intake and diy.
Can there be an antifreeze leak from the intake manifold but not any antifreeze mixed in with the engine oil?
there can be a leak from the intake manifold without any antifreeze mixing with your oil, i personally experienced this problem on a 1986 sentra after a changed the head gasket, i apparently had scaped a little to hard on the intake when cleaning it for new gaskets. if its a small leak it would probably just be evaporating in the combustion chamber, but it can and probably will become a problem that needs attention quickly. have a trusted mechanic take a look at it as soon as possible, maybe have them do a compression check to see if there are any possible leaks. well good luck
Antifreeze leaks into the oil is vehicle still good?
You've got either a leaking intake gasket or a leaking head gasket. It's a serious problem which needs to be repaired.
What does it mean if you see antifreeze on your oil dip stick?
it would me you have a bad headgasket. a cracked head, or a bad intake gasket. have a good day!!
Do you need a new gasket if the intake manifold is removed on a 1999 Hyundai Sonata six cylinder?
Defiantly yes, no matter how good the old gasket looks. Install a new one.
How do you replace a manifold gasket in a 95 Ford Windstar?
"Manifold gasket" ? whick one? Upper intake MG,Lower intake MG or exhaust MG? I thinks you mean intake MG. The Upper intake MG is easy on. Just undo the bolt and clear the gasket materal, then replace new upper intake MG. The lower intake MG is a little bit hard. Carefully clear the old gasket material on the manifold and head, clear the bolt nad bolt hole in the head, then carfully install the lower intake MGand double check the coolant passage in ordeer to void the coolant leading. The last step is to torque corectly the bolt. good luck.
Can an intake manifold gasket with a small tear in a narrow section be repaired with scotch tape?
That's probably not a good idea. You could use silicone gasket sealer, but let it thoroughly dry before you start the engine, otherwise it could be sucked down the intake.
How do you replace the intake gasket on a 1992 Chevy Lumina Z34?
I'll assume Lower Intake Gasket, since they tend to cause vacuum leaks. Get a manual from Autozone and expect about 4 hrs labor, you need to take off the upper intake manifold just to replace the Lower Intake Gasket. Probably should change/clean the PCV valve while ur in there. Good luck, man.
Why would a Ford 390 blow white steam and water from one side of the dual exhaust?
You possibley have a blown head gasket on the side that is blowing water and steam. 390 s are good solid blocks pull the head on that side and check carefuly to see if you can spot the bypassed gasket. If not a gasket a good idea to have the heads checked for cracks then the engine. Small steps. could be a blown head gasket on that side, or a bad intake gasket. The side you see white smoke from has a head gasket or cracked head problem. If sparkplug has water or rust on it you have located the cyl of question. Is it the Intake manifold or head gasket. Water runing into intake valve would be noticeable when you pull the intake manifold. You might hear knock when motor is hot, that would indicate steam knock from blown head gasket. Piston in question would be steam clean from antifreeze hard blast on ignition................. ........ do a compression test, a week cylinder could indicate not only a blown head gasket but also tell you what cylinder.
Why is your 1998 Chevy Malibu is losing antifreeze with no obvious signs of leaks?
if you can not see a leak!! check water pump,or intake gaskets,or a bad head gasket, GOOD-LUCK!!
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.
