Is there anyway to tell if the manifold gasket is leaking, my brother in law says it, says he seen it when I pulled up and says he smelled antifreeze inside but I dont, it not running hot the temp is 200, I dont see it leaking up the hood and I dont see no leaking up the car when I move it from the drive way. is there any easy way to tell if the manifold is leaking!

If its has the 3.1 L engine with more than 50K it is probably leaking, they can leak internally and cause major damage to the engine without even being seen on the outside of the engine..
The way to tell is if the oil is contaminated with coolant, look under the oil cap for white foamy residew..
and also look for coolant on the rear of the transmission by the block and in front by the pulleys ...
if you see either Oil or coolant there is a large enough issue to require changing out the intake gaskets ..
I would suggest using GM gaskets as they have been modified to work better than the aftermarket ones, also if you are Not mechanicly inclined take it to a shop that does them alot as they can be tricky to do ...
