your answer to my first question was a suspected leaking intake manifold gasket; how long can I keep running with this problem; the car runs fine and does not overheat but I am adding coolant almost daily; what is the fix and how much $$$$$;

If coolant gets into cylinder, then engine could hydro-lock, bending rods, pistons, and other bad things.

Usual cost to change intake gaskets is $700-800.
