If you have oil in the coolant or coolant in the water, you have either a cracked head, cracked block or blown head gasket.
You have a bad intake manifold gasket. Two things you can do before the major "$" repair. 1.) The maker recommends a bottle of stop leak to be added, but first the fluid level needs to be up. (This is hard to do without patience because you can't open a hot fill tank!) 2.) There are two bolts on the intake manifold right and left sides that can be tightened with a box end wrench. (They are not torqued high enough from the factory to begin with.) After these, you must replace the intake manifold gasket. Helpz you?
Well, i have a 2001 with the 3100 engine and it seems to be losing coolant as well i dont see it leaking but i will have to refill it every week or so, i am researching the problem now

I have researching it as well. seems like this is a major problem that is going on with these cars.. I have been told that it could be an intake gasket but I really dont know.. If you find anything out let me know.. Thanks..
awesome thank you.. so is the intake manifold gasket hard to do by your self. i know my way around cars pretty good, but at the same time i dont do alot of repairs myself.. i just got done replacing an engine for a 98 neon rt and that was a pain..
