Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Early failure of the lower intake manifold gasket, which caused lost of coolant. 40,000 miles on 1999 chevy venture. believe a poor design of gasket and that the radiator level is below that of the manifold. an air pocket can be trapped in the manifold and when the engine is off the residual heat of the engine cooks the gasket. believe this theory is supported by the coolant sensor is on even though the level in the radiator is full and the reservoir is full. *cb
