Consumer Description

MY 2000 PONTIAC MONTANA HAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM TODAY WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET. AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES I HAD TO START ADDING A LITTLE COOLANT TO THE RESERVOIR WITH EVERY OIL CHANGE, BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO NOTICE THE WATER IN THE OIL. NOW, WITH NEARLY 80,000 MILES THE LEAK IS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE COOLANT LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON. *NM
