Question Coolant leak from INTAKE???

Is it possible to develop a coolant leak at the intake manifold?

Sorry for making another post, but as you can't rename posts, this is probably the only way to get real exposure to this question.

This is in refrence to the problem described here:

There is no coolant in the intake of an LT1. The closest it gets is the throttle body.

Re: Coolant leak from INTAKE???

head gasket leak could POSSIBLY end up in the intake manifold...if you're lucky and that's the only section that breaks down. very seriously doubt you'd be lucky enough to end up with a little coolant in the manifold though.

are you getting the "blue smoke" or "white smoke" coming out of the exhaust? that's a sign of oil or coolant (respectively) leaking into the combustion chambers.
