Consumer Description

A SLOW RADIATOR LEAK WAS OBSERVED OVER A PERIOD OF 2 MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED A FAULTY INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. HE HAD MENTIONED THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE MALIBU, EVEN THOUGH GM TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT. THE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS REPLACED BEFORE ANY ANTI-FREEZE LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE.*JB
