    yea still sounds like a lower intake manifold gasket leak. Its leaking coolant into the cylinders.

    its a common issue on gps unfortunatley. make sure you use the revised gaskets if this does turn out to be your issue. but i would check other possibilities first as this can be an expensive job if you give the car to a shop.

    thank you and do you have any idea how much that will cost to fix if it is the head gasket?
