Have a 1998 Ply. Voyager 3.0L auto trans. Leaking antifreeze into vally under the plenium. Removed plenium replace tube from water pump to trans. New intake gaskets but still leaks. No antifreeze in oil. Have an idea where it could be leaking from? The mechanic swears it's not the water pump because it not dripping down under the pump it's running all onto the block and down onto the trans.

Short of crack in block water jacket I'd intake gasket still leaking or intake manifold warped.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually just left the garage and after talking for sometime with the mechanic we narrowed it down to either a crack in the block/head? Or intake crack but it runs fine no vacuum leak maybe at ends where the water jackets are located? Or as I suggested maybe the intake is warped? What the heck it's only got 84000 and pretty well kept. Had it since new. Except for the three transmissions, speed sensor, O2 sensor, the two air conditioning compressors, dryer and the new radiator and idler pulley &electrcail snafus with interior lights it's been a great van!
