Question:

stop intake valve leakage in auto?

I have a intake valve leakage in both my car and truck. If there some sort of quick fix i could use to stop the leakage for about 1 month.

Answer:

I think your confused. The intake valve lets fuel and air into the combustion chamber, there is no antifreeze held in by the intake valve. If you have an antifreeze leak that is visible on the outside of the engine, you can trace the leak to the source of he leak and repair it. If you are not mechanically inclined, I would take the vehicles to a reliable shop. ASE Master Tech 30 + yrs. Retired.
IF the valves are correctly adjusted, then the only solution is a valve job. Certain vehicle engines are more prone to burning valves than others.
what is leaking in to where? assuming that your talking about the intake and exhaust valves,then here goes. if the car and truck are old enough to have a carb on them then if you have gas leaking past the valves then you will need to clean the intake valves, if it's oil leaking into the cylinder then you will need to change out the valve seals-those are located under the valve springs. to do that job you will need an air compressor.if it's compression blowing past the exhaust valves then you will need to pull the heads and have them serviced, same with intake cleaning. sorry no quick fix. either fixed or malfunctioning,those are the choices
