Re: 96 cutlass more coolant problems
Where's the coolant going? On the ground?

Re: 96 cutlass more coolant problems
No, it's not going on the ground and it doesn't seem to be going in the oil.

Re: 96 cutlass more coolant problems
that leaves either out the exhaust, or from the radiator with pin hole leaks, ie..steam escaping.

Re: 96 cutlass more coolant problems
It should be fairly easy to see if that much coolant is exiting. Is the emissions from the exhaust white and sweet smelling?
I have a 97 Oldsmobile, 97 Lumina, and 98 Lumina. All 3.1L engines. The fact is the head gasket needs to be replaced along with head bolts every 75K miles. I just finished my second head gasket repair about 10K miles ago. THe 2 Luminas have had a repair each. If you haven't replaced the head gasket yet and you are close to 75K or over. I would think that you are seeing this |
