Hey Jay, you had mentioned that that Malibu may be an intake. Would an inatke leak coolant? Know that I think about it, I had to replace one on my Bonnevile with the 3.8 for that reason I beleive. That would be alot easier than a head gasket.

My wifes Llumina was dumping a ton of coolant into the cylinders and burning it out the exhaust. You should have seen the cloud behind me.

My co-workers Windstar had the intake go out but was not using much antifreeze but was about to be.

Most likely the intake. Like Troy said it is a known weakness in the 3.1 Chevy & 3.8 Chevvies and Fords

Edit: I have to agree with you last post after reading the one before. lol

Quit posting at the same time as me Troy...

Afternoon everyone!!

Sounds to me Lee like I would be looking towards that intake gasket and it certainly would be cheaper.

Sorry Jay I need to correct your last post. It was Tom that mentioned it was a weakness in the 3.1's. That is unless I am posting and don't even know it...Lol

Oh yeah one more correction.....no you quit posting at the same time as me!!! Lol
