Consumer Description

I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE VAN DEVELOPED A LEAK OF A RED/PINK FLUID. I TOOK IT IN TO THE PLACE WHERE I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THEN TO A LOCAL PONTIAC DEALER WHO ALSO FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LOWER GASKET WENT BAD. IT WOULD TAKE 1200 TO 1500 USD TO REPLACE IT. BOTH THE LOCAL PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND THE GOODYEAR TIRE DEALERSHIP THAT FIRST CHANGED MY OIL SAID THAT IT THEY FOUND IT A COMMON REPLACEMENT ON THIS ENGINE, THE 3.4 L GM. *NM
