Engine repair question about 2008 Town and Country 3.8L
OK, yeah that is the corner of the intake manifold gasket just barely seeping anti-freeze leak.
Get in there and spray those leak areas with Brake Parts Cleaner and blow it out clean with compressed air a few times to get all the oil off those areas.
Now when those areas are clean and dry, pack in some Copper High Temp Silicon into the mating surface between the 2 parts. Pack it in tight with your thumb.
Now go in and tighten up the exposed intake manifold bolt (bolts) in that area with a wrench, snug them up good as they are probably getting a bit loose.
Now let the silicon sealer setup/dry over night before starting and driving your van.
Now put 4 ounces of Dike stop leak in a plastic jug, and put in another 4 ounces of distilled water with that. Shake it up and pour it into your radiator.
Pull some coolant out of the radiator with a suction if there is not enough room for the added stop leak fix.
The next day start it up and take it for a 20 minute drive.
After you get back let it cool off, top off the radiator with coolant.
All Fixed, continue on living your life stress free.
