I have a 2002 ford windstar se van with a 3.8 v6. water seeps into the cylinders and oil. it runs rough at idle. Could there be a chance that the plastic upper intake manifold be defective like the gm 3.8 v6? this vehicle has 176,283 miles on it.

If the coolant level in the reservoir is going down, suspect a leaking head gasket.

That engine had a lot of head gasket problems. Have a cylinder leak down test done. It will confirm the problem. There were a lot of problems with the gaskets.
