One problem related to coolant leaking has been reported for the 1998 Dodge Stratus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Started with an oil leak that required about a quart of oil per tank of gas. This suddenly got much worse, about three weeks ago. Car began to overheat and also had no heat inside. My first thought was a thermostat and I purchased one and went to replace it, only to find the coolant looking like chocolate milk. Seems to be a clear indication of a ruptured head gasket. Engine will still run and there seems to be no structural damage, only that the oils is blowing into the water. With no heat on the inside, I would hope that a heating/coolant system flush will take care of that. Dt.
