intake

just went thru this on a 96 lumina 3.1
looked at first like the oil pump was bad (it was too much coolant i guess) replaced the pump and a week later checked the oil and it was milky.my temp gauge also fluctuated, but never went very high.
turned out to be the lower intake gasket. chicago area cost at a local garage was $512.00 complete. bit the bullet and had it done and am very pleased with the car. (bought it as a work vehicle for 380.00, spent 200.00 on the oil pump and 512 on the gasket) now the only problem left is the paint. almost 1/4 is gone... primer issue i guess
