2004 Bonneville - loss of oil

[truc0011]

I seem to be leaking motor oil from my upper intake (plastic manifold) does anybody think that there is a chance that the oil will get into the coolant? If there is I should probably not drive the car until I get it fixed....

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

There is a very slim chance that oil could enter the coolant system. Coolant pressure would prevent that. Where is the leak, at the end of the manifold?

How about coolant getting in the oil? Should I be worried about that with the upper intake? Or is that only a problem with the lower intake?

Anybody have any thoughts about the upper plenum?

How about a Picture of what going on?

Are you leaking oil onto the ground? Is there oil all over the engine? Are you consuming coolant?

And how much oil loss are we talking about?

Also I will assume this is a 3800?
