Re: 95 lesabre coolant leak???

My son has a 96. It is the plenum and upper and lower gaskets. You are getting antifreeze in your oil and if you don't get it fixed soon, the engine will likely seize (sp?). In any event, it's at least a $1,200.00 fix.

One other possibility is the water pump may be shot. My guess tho, is the former is the problem. This problem is inherent in the 3800 series II engine. GM is well aware of the problem and has refused to fix it.

At least two class action lawsuits are pending about this. One I believe is in Washington (state) federal court and other down south some where.

It has its roots in the antifreeze coolant GM was using back then that basically turned to gunk in some engines.

Good luck!
