Consumer Description
I NEED TO REPORT MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE, APPARENTLY HAS AND OIL LEAK. WHILE DRIVING, YOU CAN SMELL OIL LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST PIPES/MANIFOLD SYSTEM. I READ WHERE SOME ENGINES WITH THE 3.8L ENGINES: CHEVY'S, PONTIAC'S, BUICK REGAL'S ARE BEING RECALLED FOR OIL LEAKING FROM VALVE COVER GASKETS (WHEN HARD BRAKING IS APPLIED) ON TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE, IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2000 BUICK LESABRE. WITH THE 3.8L ENGINE. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED ON THESE MODEL BUICK'S 2000 - 2005, FOR OIL LEAKING ONTO EXHAUST SYSTEM. THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL.
