not a cooling problem sorry, but just noticed when I checked the oil today orange fluid which is the antifreeze. I have done some research, and know about the lawsuit etc. My question is will changing the intake manifold gasket correct this problem? I have read that it will, but I want to be sure for buying although I quess I could get reimbursed. I change the oil regularly and have never noticed antifreeze before. Is it bad enough that I SHOULD NOT drive the truck? I recently had the cooling system flushed and filled, but still noticed that my antifreeze would get low. Any help would be greatly appreciated due to this is my one and only work truck thanks!
