2003 4.3L leaking coolant through lower intake manifold
I took it to the dealership and it was what I suspected.....the lower intake gasket is bad and is leaking coolant. The leak isn't that bad yet. My main concern is......how much longer can I drive it until it starts to get bad? (it started leaking a week ago) Another question.....is it ok to use Bar's Leaks tablets? I know the tablets are a band aid to the problem

You would need a crystal ball to predict how long it will last. I have seen a mechanic in a can (stop leak) work a few time (for how long I do not know) but I have seen it cause many more problems them actual fixes.
