I have a 1997 Aurora with coolant in number 5 cylinder. The engine has 215,000 miles on it. The garage wants to replace the engine with a used one(59,000). The cost would be $3000.00. Anyone had experience with coolant leaks in a cylinder or engine replacement?

I've never had that problem before bout it sounds like a good deal to me. Go for it

Sounds like a blown head gasket to me.
