Default need help 01 GT

Looks like I have a leak coming from the head gasket specially from the front of the engine, looks like antifreeze because the color; the intake looks good, no cracks. The car was w/o running for about 9 moth and was running for about a week before i changed the coolant, so was all rusty, i changed it like 3 time, so could be that the old antifreeze ate the seal or gasket, please any suggestions would be helpful

Most likely the gasket went out, u should change it and see if that helps, if thats not the problem then at least you've got a new gasket.

The plastic intake manifold can be decieving, it might not look like there is a crack, but most likely there is especially if there is antifreeze anywhere by/on it.

Check with a local dealership to see if you are still eligible for a free replacement intake with a aluminum front runner.
