Antifreeze Leak

magicman55 · October 18th, 2006, 10:49 PM

I have a 98 v6. 108,000 miles. It's leaking some coolant on the passenger side. It's been leaking on the cats coming off the heads. Sometimes I can hear it sizzling on the pipes. Almost right where the block meets the tranny. It smells like burnt antifreeze under the hood even after running it for a short amount of time. I've also checked and there's no coolant in the oil. Any help would be appreciated.

probably a leak in the lower intake manifold gasket, while you take it apart would also be a good time to upgrade to the 99+ MLS headgaskets to prevent you from doing it all over again.
