hey i bought a 1998 buick lesabre to fix up and drive/re sale down the road.
it has the 3.8L v6 with 188k the car over all is in good shape and i paid 250 dollars for it
no hears my problem it steam super bad out of the tail pipe and it gets low on coolant fast... so i'm thinking thats the sign of a bad head gasket...
but i been looking on the internet and people say head gasket rarely go out on these 3.8L motors but that intake gasket leak.... could that be true?
how would i be able to figure out what the problem is with out pulling everything apart or is that possible to do?
i dont have a ton of money and plan to do the repairs my self but i don't want to pull heads off or i might as well scrap this car
how can you tell if your intake is leaking
