I have the same issue with my 2005 325xi, and was told at the shop that it's a cheap part, with an inner core made of resin rather than steel, so extreme temps, a big bump in the road, etc. could cause it to crack, unfortunately.

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.


Can a crack in a manifold cause excess noise?

it can cause excessive noise and excessive heat to electrical lines under the hood. It is also a place for CO gases to build up and find a way into the drivers compartment. Yes, a lot. In the exhaust manifold anyway. In the intake manifold it wouldn't run.

Can a crack in a manifold cause an oil leak?

The answer is yes. A crack in a manifold is much worse than just the oil leak. Manifold cracks are generally caused by severe overheating or improper assembly of parts. A crack in a manifold can cause oil to leak but the oil leak is inconsequential as the crack renders the engine unusable safely, without replacing the manifold. Running an engine with a cracked manifold is very bad for the rest of the engine and your own safety.

What is a manifold leak?

A manifold leak is usually in reference to a failure of the intake manifold gasket. It can leak air, oil or coolant. It can leak to the outside of the engine or internally into the engine. A manifold leak may also refer to the Exhaust manifold that is leaking exhaust fumes from a bad gasket or a crack in the manifold.


How do you know if your intake manifold is leaking?

Us a small propane torch NOT LIGHTED to supply a little fuel to the area with the engine idling. When the propane finds a manifold crack the engine will increase its rpm. Use proper ventillation and be careful.
