I had a bad leak of coolant and I think it was from my intake manifold. It has been leaking for couple days. Today, I drove 60 miles home so I can repair it. When I got home, I can't see any leaks. I drove around the blocks and still no leaks. What do I do now? I hate to just replace the gaskets for the intake manifold and discovered later that I make a mistake. Any help is appreciated.

Warm the engine up and then pressure test the system. Most old fashion service stations can do this, and will normally not charge or charge very little for the service. Stant, the radiator cap manufacturer supplied a pressure tester with their display cases. It was a gimick used to sell new caps and hoses.
