Consumer Description

THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE COOLANT IN MY 2001 CHEVY IMPALA. KNOWING JUST A LITTLE ABOUT INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES PROBABLY AN INTAKE GASKET LEAKING. FOR A CAR WHICH HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED WITH UNDER 80,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THIS WAS ALARMING. HIGH ENGINE TEMP AND A SLUDGE IN MY MOTOR ARE THE OBVIOUS CONSEQUENCES. WHO KNOWS WHAT THE LONG TERM AFFECTS WILL BE. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE MECHANICS AND ALREADY I AM LOOKING AT 700 TO 1,000 DOLLARS WHICH I DO NOT HAVE TO REPAIR. *NM
