Consumer states that the intake manifold gasket is made of plastic. When this happens all of the radiator fuel is washed into the block causing major damage to the block. Dealer contacted.

Intake manifold is leaking oil onto engine. Cause unknown. Dealer notified. The engine had a hole where the distributor used to be and the hole was capped with O? ring and a plug. The hardening of the O'ring was due to heat causeing the oil to leak.
