    Ok I changed my Lowe Intake manifold Gaskets. Put everything back together, started the car up. Smoke came from the tail pipe, i checked dip stick and the oil was MILKY! I panicked thinking i blew a head gasket. So i took everything back apart and noticed one of the bolts had popped out of the Lower Intake Manifold causing everything not to be sealed tightly. So i left it as it was to test it and poured water in my radiotor and saw it was going right until the oil pan, that helped me confirm that was caused it. I put the bolt in and tighten it real tight, poured water back in the radiotor again and there no water going into oil pan !!. I put everything back together. Started car, everything. No smoke. Nothing. Took car to mechanic (1 Mile away) to make sure it wasn't a head gasket. He took the radiotor cap off and told me if water shoots out of the radiotor then you have a blow head gasket, he started the car and no water jumped out (No blow gasket).

    So i went home, put in a quart of oil in there. Decided to drain in it to see, and when i did the oil was still milky. So i went and bought one more quart. This time i had the car jacked up and oil catching pan underneath the drain plug. So i poured the new oil in the engine from under the hood and quickly got under the car to monitor the oil and i noticed as it was coming out it was regular color then as it came it eventually got milky. So now im assuming its still water in the oil pan somewhere ?? Or is there still Milky oil/Water left somewhere in engine? will i need to drain out all the water in the whole engine block? Whats going on? My car isn't running hot or nothing. Any help appreciated.

    Fill your car with oil to the correct level. Run it for a few minutes and drain. Do this with a new filter each time until it is clean.

    You aren't mentioning what year you have so.. I'm guessing it has a steel oil pan and hence..there's 3/8" of fluid below the drain plug.

    BTW which bolt did you leave out..because they don't "pop out"

    That is odd.. IIRC that bolt causes a huge vacuum leak, not a coolant leak. Maybe it was the other one though.

    FWIW you want to change that stove pipe or block your coolant ports as that large diameter pipe is the old design and has been shown to deteriorate the UIM faster.

    What is the stove pipe? Where is it located ?

    Also when you mentioned to fill car up with oil and let it run for a few minutes your saying A couple days or actually let it run a few mins?

    the metal tube for the egr. those fail look for a hole or crack inside, they sell a repair kit, or you can buy a new upper intake, or seal the lim coolant holes.

    heres why it fails, aka leaks coolant. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...36-UIM-Failure


    heres how to fix it so it never leaks coolant again, it shows a l67 lim, but you still got the litle coolant ports that can be sealed off. http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...w-to-Mod-a-LIM

    bill refers to it as the stove pipe. in that thread there maybe a part number for the kit. im sure dorman makes it.
