I have an oldsmobile alero,2002 and it is leaking coolant

Question

can anyone help and explain how to fix it?

Answer 1

Well I have worked on ALOT of Oldsmoblies, and the main culprit for coolant leaks were what they call an Upper Plenum on top of the intake. They leak alot on the driver side of the engine and coolant sits in a valley on the engine block. It is a somewhat expensive fix. I have changed about 75 upper plenums on oldsmoblies and the cost is usually around 475w/labor. It involves alot of things and takes about 4hrs to do. As for explaining it to you it takes alot of explaining and different torque specs you have to do so you wont crack it and there wont be any leaks..

Hopfully that helped.. If you live in Indiana I can fix it...
