| Radiator was drained, flushed and refilled with recommended dexcool coolant. then started to leak about a pint a day. dealer said that for $700.00 they can replace the plastic intake manifold gaskets (original equipment) with steel ones. on a limited income, i cannot have that done yet. i daily add a pint of coolant to prevent engine overheating. i have to clean my garage floor every morning from the leaking. | |||
