Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 3/20/04, i noticed an unusual amount of an engine fluid dripping from my 1996 town car as i backed out of my garage, so i took it to the repair shop that has done the majority of the maintenance on the vehicle. they diagnosed that the plastic intake manifold was cracked and leaking and needed to be replaced. they told me that "this is a common problem" with this engine and that they had repaired quite a lot of them. *jb
