The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine  with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.

    noticed coolant on gound. kept adding coolant, sometimes twice a day. looked over engine compartment and saw puddle of coolent by manifold. clean area up, started car and found leak. Needs gaskets replaced. I called a repair facility was quoted between $1200.00 to $1800.00 to fix. Has Pontiac acknowledged this problem?

    Coolant leaking into engine, have to replace intake manifold. Don't have that much money (will be over $500) so I'm just watching coolant level while I save up.
