I just replaced the intake manifold gasket and I still leak coolant, I have no clue where its coming from looks like the passenger side somewhere. I've had the system presure tested and no signs of leaks any where I thought it might be the radiator cap and I replaced that and still leaks, are there any other common leaks this engine might have?:banghead: Going crazy trying to find it!!!:screwy:

Make sure it's leaking onto the ground instead of into the oil! See other recent posts about intake gaskets...

I've read quite a few before I posted and I don't have chocolate milk (coolant in the oil). So far it on the ground only.

my malibu is leaking from the lower manifold. It puddles up under the throttle body. There is this little orange lake. The leak only happens to show on the ground when the car is parked down hill, then it drips off. I guess on level ground it evaporates somewhat. It took about 15 minutes and a small flash light and small inspection mirror to find the culprit. Look under and back up under the throttle body and under the power steering pump. Where is it dripping on the ground.
