There seems to be a small leak or seepage coming from what seems to be the head gasket.... its not enough to drip or or anything, its just kinda looks like a bubbly gel sitting on the block. The car only has 71000kms on it. Would this be something to worry about? It doesnt seem to be coming from the limg, and I still have the power train warrenty on it till the early summer of 08. Thanks for any help!

have the dealer give you all new gaskets, it's under warranty go for it, free service

I dunno, take it off and put the stock box back on before you take it in to be on the safe side

Thats what I was thinking, good thing I saved the stupid thing for something like this..... I just thought, this would be covered under the power train warranty right?

LIMG leak. Get it fixed ASAP!!

Switch intakes just to be safe, but this is a defect of the 3400 motor. To get out of the repair, they could say it's the intake.

its gonna look like it is the head gaskets but it really isnt. the end bolts usually arent put on that tight by the factory and they have these problems. mine was on but it took no effort to get the bolts out.

So your saying its the limg eh? Hmm, I'll take a pic in the next day or so, I tried to see if it was comming from it, but it looks like its directly from the head gasket... thing it, is that when I wiped it away a few weeks ago, it was fine till about a day or 2 ago. Man, I dont wanna put that damn stock intake on, so cold and so much snow out :(

The CAI will only void the warranty if they can prove that it caused damage in any way.

Well, Im gonna put the upper portion of the stock airbox on, and take it on in. Better safe than sorry I guess, and I dont want the hassle of them questioning anything lol. Thanks for all the help guys!
