First of all I have a 98 3.8 Firebird, A4 completely stock except a whisper lid. I took Thursday off to change my intake gasket (if thats what it is) but before I buy the parts I wanted to check with you guys and be sure that, the intake gasket is my problem. I have the dreaded muddy radiator fluid and coolant resivoir fluid. No water in the oil though. The oil on the dipstick is nice n black. I have radiator fluid disappearing. It takes about 2-3weeks, but eventually my car will start climbing in temp and Ill have to put coolant in the radiator. This weekend I smelled coolant buring so I popped the hood and on the drivers side up by the throttle body there was coolant spewing out from somewhere, I could hear it hissing and see coolant puddled up on the side of the intake. I just couldnt tell where it was coming from. I also have a hissing in the back of the intake on the passenger side. Its not the heater lines, I double checked those. Am I right in assuming this is an intake gasket?
