gotta find where the leak is coming from. You should be able to start taking off pieces, and maybe get one of those flexible, telescopic little mirros to help you see behind something to locate the leak. Probably a bad intake manifold gasket.

ts the plastic intake, i had the same thing happen to me and I couldn't find the pinhole leak. I beleive it is a recall item, check your dealership. Mine was, didn'y pay a dime.
