There is water from condensation from the a/c system that will drip onto your exhaust manifold when you turn the engine off after running the a/c for a while. Check coolant level daily when your engine is cold and if it isn't dropping then it is just the water from the cold a/c.

SOURCE: water leak under the intake manifold,1995 toyota 4 runner

There is a heater core bypass pipe that runs from the block (under the manifold) to the bacl of theengine where you will see a flat rectangular "sheet metal" thing with a pipe coming out of it. The a rubber hose connects. You need to pull the top air plenums and intake to get to it. The p[ipe flange bolts to the block with silicone rtv as a sealant.

Can you show me 99 Durango gaskets from top of engine going down ??

I'm sorry, but I can't provide visual images or diagrams. However, I can describe the general order of gaskets in a 1999 Dodge Durango engine from the top going down:
  1. Valve Cover Gaskets: These gaskets are located on top of the cylinder heads and seal the valve covers. They help prevent oil leaks from the top of the engine.
  2. Intake Manifold Gasket: The intake manifold gasket seals the connection between the intake manifold and the cylinder heads. It helps maintain proper air-fuel mixture and prevents vacuum leaks.
  3. Throttle Body Gasket: If equipped, the throttle body gasket seals the connection between the throttle body and the intake manifold. It ensures proper airflow into the engine.
  4. Exhaust Manifold Gaskets: These gaskets are located between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder heads. They seal the exhaust gases and prevent leaks.
  5. Head Gaskets: The head gaskets are situated between the cylinder heads and the engine block. They seal the combustion chambers and coolant passages.
  6. Oil Pan Gasket: The oil pan gasket is located at the bottom of the engine and seals the oil pan to the engine block. It prevents oil leaks from the oil pan.
  7. Front and Rear Main Seals: These seals are located at the front and rear of the engine crankshaft. They prevent oil leaks where the crankshaft exits the engine block.
  8. Timing Cover Gasket: If equipped, the timing cover gasket seals the timing chain or belt cover to the engine block. It helps protect the timing components and prevents oil leaks.

Why do my coolant keep running out

If you have a 3.1L or 3.4L V6 engine, I can guarantee you have either an intake manifold gasket leaking, internally, or the rear head gasket is leaking externally. They are extremely prone to coolant leaks for both. Get it checked out soon, the head gasket job can cost upwards of $1000.00. The intake leak is half of that if caught in time.

My Chevy Venture 1999 when I drived the temperature was normally, but when I stay the temperature was hot. I changed the termosthator but the problem is continually.

Check the coolant reservoir and the radiator for proper coolant level. If low you probably have a leaking intake gasket or possibly a head gasket leak. The intake leak will be visible on either end of the intake manifold, located at the very top portion of the engine. The head gasket usually shows up at the rear head, nearest the belt. You could have a water pump leaking and this would show coolant on the ground under the right front of the engine, more so when the engine is running. They are very common for all 3 problems.

Coolant leak at rear of manifold

Hello glennjenkins: My name is Roger and I will help you. You did not say what size the engine was in your car? I will assume it is a 3.8 v-6.The problem most likely is the intake gasket. These engines were built with a intake manifold set made of plastic. Over time they will crack and start leaking. The fix is to replace the gasket set. You should change the oil and filter when changing the intake set. When you pull the intake you will have coolant run into the oil pan. Also when the gasket leaks it is possible for coolant to leak into the oil pan. To replace the intake gasket does require some special wrenches. Such as a inch pound torque wrench and a torques socket for a special headed bolt.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of the answer you received. This way we know you received helpful information. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
