oil in antifreeze oil in antifreeze

My "Low Coolant Level" light came on one day, so I checked, and sure enough, it was low. I topped off the rad, drove the car for a day or so, and when I checked the next day, I saw how dirty my coolant was. I heard that the intake manifold gasket is a very common problem with these cars, but I tried to be optimistic. My next oil change I noticed coolant mixed with my oil. Damn it. That pretty much confirmed it for me. I replaced it myself, as the dealership wanted $850.00 + tax.
