is it a known problem for coolant to leak from the intake manifold into the engine? if not it could be a blown head gasket..

Whats the symptoms? I've never had a manifold off carry but it is possible. A lot cheaper to pull the manifold off and check b4 diving into a headgasket.

coolant is coming out the exhaust and we've pulled out the intake manifold and you can see where the intake manifold gasket has failed.

replace manifold gasket (either paper or silicon style) and see if it helps

A bit of a bitch to get off though

Yeah it's all fixed now, it was the intake manifold leaking. But now it's better than ever and I can start concentrating on getting aftermarket gear for it :D
