If really on top then probably the intake manifold gasket ,study it closely .
Sounds like a blown headgasket or intake manifold gasket. Sounds like a blow intake gasket to me...It happened to My 86 Mustang and my 96 Lumina.
if water is in oil,could be a bad headgasket!have it checked out!or a bad intake gasket.
it would me you have a bad headgasket. a cracked head, or a bad intake gasket. have a good day!!
Simple method... get some carb cleaner or starting fluid. With the engine running, spray the area where the intake manifold gasket is. If you experience sudden bursts of increased RPMs, you have an intake manifold gasket issue.
The Intake gasket is leaking, NOT THE HEAD GASKET. Replace the intake gasket
No reason to if the intake gasket is the only problem you have. If engine was running smooth and was not overheated then there is no reason to fool with the HEAD gaskets
Answer Yeas absolutuley can, Typical of the 3.8 and the 3.1 motors, Have also seen it it in the 3.4 motors. What do you have? It is probably an intake manifold gasket problem, depending on the motor.
The intake gasket is the gasket that conncects from your air filter into your intake manifold
if its a 3.1v6,then it is a intake manifold gasket problem, the 3.1 a noted for this!! check to see if gasket is bad.
You will need to replace the intake gaskets to fix your problem. The HEAD GASKETS will not be your problem.
The only fix for a bad intake gasket is to remove the intake manifold and replace the gasket.
