1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2004

Vehicle was consuming anti freeze excessively. This was caused by the lower gasket in the engine leaking anti freeze. The anti freeze was going into the engine and mixing with the oil.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2000

Shake, vibration is felt most when driving at speeds around 50-60mph. I was told that new tires would stop the vibration and that a balance and alignment would help in the meantime. The balancing and rotating as well as having the car aligned have not helped at all. I dont think it has anything to do with tires. The oil smell cannot be explained, there are no leaks.
