I have a 1991 GMC pickup with a 350 eng. For the last year or so I
noticed the engine had a minor coolant leak by the intake manifold and
I always smelled coolant. I bought the gasket set but never got the
job done. Suddenly I am losing a full radiator of coolant in only a
few days, and I probably only drive this truck 30 or 40 miles a week,
since it's mostly just for farm use. I'm noticing the engine is
idling rough too. I am not seeing any dripping of coolant outside the
engine, in fact I am not even noticing the minor leak around the
intake manifold anymore.

Could it be that this manifold gasket is now leaking into the inside
of the engine? How can I determine this on my own? I am not willing
to take this truck to a mechanic because it has high milage. If it's
just the intake manifold gasket, I'll change it, but if it's a head
gasket or something else, I'm sending it to the junkyard. What is the
procedure to determine where the leak is?

I should mention that since the weather has gotten cold, I am seeing a
very large amount of exhaust smoke, but it looks like steam (appears
so anyhow). I'd appreciate any advice and suggestions.

Thanks

James
