'97 olds 88 plenum replacement question

[jimbalaba]

Hi,

took the plenum off the car today expecting antifreeze on the top of the lower manifold but instead found oil. What to do?? Please help.

Why did you take it apart to begin with? Loosing coolant, need more info.

Mechanic who changed oil said it needed done. $1200 steep... bought a Dorman kit and lower manifold gaskets. Diddn't realize it'd be so hard to get to the lower manifold. I'm over my head and plan to take it to a shop. I don't know how to do rocker arms and that whole thing. Live and learn. Thanks for the help.
