they aren't really "plastic" they are composit. and there is no problems with them.Originally posted by nick
the intake manifold oil leak is the one thing you need to check for. its simple to do...
take a folded piece of paper towel...about 2" x 2"..and open the hood... lean waaaaaaaaaay over the motor on the left side... reach back in front of the egr tube at the left rear corner of the motor..and dab the area where the intake seats on the motor. if you got oil on that paper towel..... the intake leak is there. its not serious..but its expsensive if you dont fix it yourself. have the person get it fixed........properly....or have them deduct the cost of repair from the asking price. get a quote from a local gm dealer.
