Re: Plenum leaking

My car had the same problem. You can get a replacement kit for about $150. You should probably replace both the coolant and the oil because you dont know if the coolant had a slight leak into the oil, replace both just to be safe. I was planning on installing a new one in my car, but my mechanic offered $300 for him to do it, so I went with that, it was too cold outside anyway. One thing to be real careful about is the torque and sequence you install the bolts for the plenum. The plenum is plastic and can warp fairly easy, and that would make it leak. If you do the job yourself make sure you invest in a good quality torque wrench and find out the torque and sequence specs.

Never heard of a performance plenum though...
