Re: 1998 Oldsmobile 88 Intake Problems

The plenum melts where the EGR gasses go through and causes the coolant to leak into the intake. I replaced the pipe ( EGR stovepipe ) and I think it should be ok. There was no metal pipe before. I dont know why. I have heard of these 'leaks' causing damage to the engine. My original engine in the car had been hydrolocked before and messed up a rod causing a knock. I havent been able to start my car yet after doing the intake, but its pretty badly flooded. I am going to work on it tonight.
