Consumer Description

A BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED AFTER MY 2008 SEL AWD WAS DRIVEN/HOT. MY MECHANIC SAW OIL ALL OVER THE EXHAUST AND CLEANED IT ALL OFF AND DID A DYE TRACE TO LOCATE THE LEAK. THE LEAK IS THE REAR HEAD GASKET! I NEVER HAD A WELL CARED FOR CAR LEAK THIS EARLY. I ALWAYS GOT OVER 200,000 MILES ON MY BUICKS. THE COST TO REPLACE A HEAD GASKET ARE IN EXCESS OF $2100-$2500! AND AS A NOTE, THE MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE ISSUE DOES NOT EVEN DO MAJOR ENGINE REPAIR ON THIS LEVEL SO THEY WERE NOT MAKING IT UP. *TR
