Q: In a 3y engine is it possible to loose coolant through the intake manifold
My ute has been over heating without any visable leaks and loosing coolant but only on the highway at 100km or above when I stop to let it cool down the coolant is low with no visable leaks I brought a vrs kit for it assuming it was the head gasket when I started working on it I realised the intake manifold was loose so was wondering if this could be the cause
My car has a manual transmission.
