Description of the problem | My 2000 oldsmobile silhouette, with 48k miles on it, has had a slow coolant leak for the past few weeks. Upon taking it to the repair shop the mechanic informed me that the rear 'head gasket' has a leak. He stated that this has been a common problem with gm vehicles using dexcool coolant. I plan to contact the manufacturer. *jb |
