Default Re: Coolant leak

I have the passenger side IM off and it is as clean as a whistle, a little oil on the gasket and in the joint where the rubber adapter and the intake meet. I'd guess that's from the SC, oil getting past the seals there, seals have to leak or they just get ruined by lack of lubrication.

This is not looking good, maybe a leak into the engine across a head gasket? I had that once on a 4.3L GM engine and it destroyed the engine which required a rebuild from top to bottom. No signs of any vapors or emulsified oil in the filler cap or dip stick tube and the oil looks good. Need a new IM gasket now, bummer.

Car is running like a top.
