I have a 2002 LeSabre that the recall has been performed on for coolant leaks,the nuts & stop leak added about 2 yr ago. Today I noticed a spot under car where coolant has been leaking again. It appears to be coming from around the bolt that holds the small cover over the cam shaft end;same place it was originally coming from. I have 43,000 mi on car now...anyone think it may still be covered under original recall???Does not appear to be coming from intake or throttle body gasket.

Take a close look at the tube between the timing cover and intake (the plastic one).

I will just take a wait & see what happens for now; it's been a week & no more leaks????From what I can understand from GM ,any leak of coolant less than a Qt.a year is normal...I say from experience that's Bull;but I'll wait & see....And the 3.8L has been the best engine since the older 350's came out, I hate to read about all these problems with it.
