Thread: LIM antifreeze leak

Just replace upper and lower intake gaskets. Not even a mile after I put The gaskets in and drove it antifreeze started leaking from the transmission side of the engine. I'm not driving the car now obviously but do I have to take the intakes off again. I sealed it with rtv in the corners but it's not leaking oil now. But antifreeze. Help, on a budget and can't afford a town.

I'm not 100% sure because I can't see where the leak originates. When I put the engine back Together I replaced the tb gasket and I did check the thermostat housing. It seems like its underneath where the LIM meets the block, but when I set the in
take in the gasket was still sitting in place perfectly. Also if there is antifreeze flowing out wouldn't that mean its going through oil to reach the edge however it's moving.

Where is the cap? The rectangle piece of metal near the EGR system?

I didn't replace the gasket on that, I didn't take it off thought either. Anyway I can get at it without taking the intakes off?

Well I cant tell if that's leaking because the exhaust is in the way and so is the tb. Tomorrow I will take off the tb and check. I sprayed the intake with carb and choke cleaner to get deposits off, could that ruin the caps gasket? When I drove it yesterday for a mile it barely leaked and but I drove it today for less than a mile and way more anti freeze came out, it's all over the transmission. Think it's the cap? I have the gasket from the kit I bought but I didn't think to stitch it for some reason...
