finally put my motor on a stand. I removed the intake manifold to find a thin layer of coolant around the gasket as well as some coolant pooled in the passages to the valves. absolutely no coolant in my inter cooler piping or at the throttle body. so.... whats broken??? leaking??? how to check etc....

funny thing is... never smoked.... none. so wat happened.

Check the head for cracks. Did you have any overheat/high temp problems?

i did but I never let it over heat, I would pull over and let it sit for a half hour. only had it that way for a few days then re burbed the rad and it never got hot again.
