Leaks and problems
2000 chevy Malibu 3.1 v6 75,000 miles
Hello and thank you in advance for any answers, I have quite the problem on my hands.
I have been losing coolant for a while now and have found a source, replaced the coolant reservoir and flushed it only to make the problem worse, today after my mom drove the car I noticed oil on the ground in the driveway, the oil pan and bottom of the front end are all wet with oil, I turned the car on and the oil was leaking pretty fast, and I have an orangey sludge in my oil and the milky texture on dipstick, the oil in the ground appeared to be a muddy color.
I haven't noticed any other problems besides this, so what do you guys think, head gasket or intake manifold, and could someone who hasn't done too much more than oil changes and brakes do this himself, and if not what kind of cost am I looking at?
