Just discovered what I think is JUST a Gasket leak at the Intake manifold. Found a pretty bad leak that only was leaking when the car was running the Water Pump. After removing some items to get a good look, I found coolant pooling up on the top of the Driver Side Intake manifold.
While there is really no hoses or anything in this area, this leads me to believe the Intake Gasket is leaking and letting coolant come out between the Intake and Head. Fortunately there is no coolant in the oil, so it looks like it was just pushing the coolant out of the Block and not into it. Should consider myself lucky I guess.
I'm going through threads now to see what info may already be put out there in the Forum. Any pointers, thoughts, steps or things to consider before pulling the manifold and during replacement would be appreciated. I already have the Fuel rail and Throttle Body and EGR Metal Hose removed and about ready to remove the intake bolts and Manifold. I sure dont want to get things back together only to find out I missed something. Thx....Happy New Year....not so Happy for me.
