Description of the problem | I have a 1997 mercury cougar. After seeing a low coolant light, and stopping the car, i opened the hood and had coolant everywhere! The car was towed to a repair shop and i was told it was a cracked intake manifold. After further research i have found this is a continual problem with ford produced automobiles. *ak |
