problem: engine intake manifold leak - dexcool
I, like several hundred thousand other gm owners, am experiencing a leaking engine due to the dexcool coolant used in the radiator. The problem stems from the intake manifold not being sealed correctly to house the corrosive coolant. (I've been told by both my mechanic and the dealer that this effects all 3. 0l series engines in gm vehicles from the years 1998 - 2003. ) I only realized my problem after my friend (with the exact same model car and year) had his head gasket blown off due to the engine coolant mixing with the oil. Total estimated cost: $750. Risk of accident if car's engine blows in traffic.
