1999 grand am 3.4L I keep refilling the cooling system after about a day or two of driving. I changed the oil and noticed that it came out a bit orange due to the dex-cool leaking into the oil. And lately after I drive the car for about half an hour, i could see vapor comming out of the hood. It is wet around the intake manifold since i believe the vapors are comming out of there. The "low coolant" light hasn't come out but i believe that this leak is due to bad intake manifold gaskets. Could this be it or could it be something else?
