Noticed it was a manifold leak after further inspection noticed two bolts were broke on the drivers side, left side of the motor by the firewall. There is no possible way to remove these broken bolts other than pulling the motor. No mechanic will touch it. Therefore leaving the cost on the consumer. The grade of the bolts are very poor.…
