This is a common problem for all Saturn S-Series 2000-2002. The plastic intake manifold cracks at the coolant stems, even if the engine does not overheat. This is especially true in the southern half of the US (hotter climate). The intake manifold would need to be replaced, or repaired so no further damage will occur like overheating the engine.
CarSaturn of Conyers, GA sells a repair kit to fix this problem- Worked for me. Link is below

Good Luck!
What else can I help you with?
Would a bad lower intake manifold cause oil to get in the water?
A bad intake manifold or manifold gasket can cause water to leak into the oil. Some newer cars have plastic manifolds and they will crack from age.
What would cause antifreeze to pool around a spark plug on a 1997 Mercury Cougar?
Your intake manifold probably has a crack in the water jacket.
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.
Where is the upper manifold gasket located on a 2000 Chevy s10?
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, the upper intake manifold gasket would be between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold.
How do you replace manifold on 2004 Saturn?
Depends on which one, there is an intake manifold and an exhaust manifold. The intake(normally aspirated)- you have to remove the air intake tube, throttle body, disconnect sensor, injector wires/vacuum hoses. Disconnect the fuel line to fuel rail, then you can unbolt the intake manifold. The exhaust manifold- is a little hard being against the firewall, you would have to disconnect the O2 sensor wires and exhaust pipe. I would spray the exhaust studs with penetrating lube. The upper nuts you should be able to get from the top, the bottom nuts you will need to get to from under the vehicle with a swivel and extentions.
Why is your 2004 cavalier idling to high?
the only thing i can think of is a crack in the intake manifold. my cavalier's manifold cracked and it was idling at like 2500RPM as opposed to the normal 1000-1500, also i had trouble with my brakes and misc other problems because of the crack. if it is just idling too high and there are no other problems i would guess that it is just compensating for the cold. if there are other little issues, i would look into having your intake manifold checked out. gotta take care of your baby because cavaliers are such great cars...... :p
Were would antifreeze leak from a 1997 pathfinder intake manifold it looks like its not coming from the manifold gasket?
The manifold itself could be cracked. I have a 2000 Pathfinder LE with 100k miles and a 3.3. I noticed an antifreeze leak on the right side of the top of the engine. Using a mirror, I found that under the manifold, there was a nice crack.
What would cause antifreeze to be where your spark plugs are in a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis?
Intake manifold gaskets are leaking, intake manifold is warped.
What would cause vacuum leak in 2002 Pontiac Sunfire?
There are a few causes: Damaged or disconnected hoses (or component) from intake manifold. Worn out intake manifold gasket. Improper replacement of a part. Cracked or damaged intake manifold.
Where is the intake manifold on the 1998 stratus?
it would be on the top of the moter
Where would a carburetor be found?
On an engine bolted to the intake manifold.
How much would it cost to fix the manifold on a 2003 Ford Windstar?
Need to know if it is the intake manifold or an exhaust manifold and what is wrong with it.
