95 Town Car Intake

Hey guys, I noticed that my intake is leaking on the front drivers side kinda by/under the thermostant housing. I know its the gasket, but my question is do I have to replace the intake as well?


Thanks..

Bryan

I would replaced the thermostat,gasket,and use a good sealent,
Permatex black is made for a Intake.

Hi Bryan.
1st, do you have the upgraded Intake Manifold with the Aluminum front coolant crossover, or the factory installed Manifold with the composite front crossover?

If you still have the factory 100% composite manifold, the leak you see now might be a fine crack developing in the front coolant crossover.

Hey Steve. It is solid cast aluminum. Not plastic.

I'm pretty sure mine has an O-ring seal there. If you inspect & find good smooth castings, a new o-ring should do the trick.

If your castings are bad, you might be able to fortify the seal with some goop as mentioned previously.
