Re: miss 97 silverado
Yours is not uncommon, intake gaskets are prone to leaking. I tell everyone that has a 96-98 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, or Full Size Blazer to read my Super long informative Post. Hope this helps you. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=267196 -Chris

Re: miss 97 silverado
If water gets in the cylinders, then you will have white smoke coming from your tail pipes.
It's probably not a head gasket (all though it could be) because usually, when they blow you get excessive amounts of water in the oil. More then likely, your intake gasket is causing the problem. I would inspect closely around the intake for any signs of coolent (also, you could smell antifreeze).
