SOURCE: oil mixing with antifreeze!

Hi. this is caused by a blown head gasket or warped head. This situation is very serious and it will require immediate attention as soon as possible. If this gasket or head isn't repaired, it will ruin the entire engine.

The most common situation here is a blown head gasket but, it can exceed to a more serious issue like an warped head as well.

please rate and god bless:)

SOURCE: 1998 Cadillac DeVille Overheats

The cooling fans will not come on until 225 degrees. Normal temp is around 199-215. Sitting still in traffic most will inch up around 220 or so. When you turn ac on it turns the fans on and may cool down engine, Check fan operation.

SOURCE: I have a coolant leak on my 1994 Cadillac Deville.

Yes this models tend to do that, check the coolant mixture after repair, yes is a diy proyect but you at least will have basic mechanic abilities to perform this, make sure you mark all the hoses and cables when dismantling.

SOURCE: water pump still leaks 92 cadillac deville

I hate to tell you this because I know it isn't an easy task changing the water pump but if it is coming between the block and the water pump housing you need to pull it back off and make real sure it is very clean by scraping the old gasket off and putting sealer on the gasket. Every bit of the old gasket has to be removed before putting the new gasket on. You could try and tighten down your bolts a little but be careful not to break the bolt or you then have another problem.

I have a 2005 pontiac gxp that has been using oil and antifreeze but I checked the antifreeze and there are no signs of oil and also the oil dipstick has no antifreeze on it either.....I used about 3...

If you have the V-8 Engine, just totally disregard this post.

If you have the 3.8L V-6 engine, your oil consumption problem is most likely to be caused by the PCV Valve if you cannot find any external leaks. These are also known for the upper intake plenum leaking antifreeze. The ports in the manifold that go to the throttle body are made of very thin plastic. The EGR tube, with its hot exhaust gasses, goes right between them. This causes the plastic to heat up and crack, causing an antifreeze leak that goes directly into the intake and gets burned in the combustion chambers.

DORMAN makes a replacement upper plenum kit to fix this problem. The kit includes the upper plenum with thicker coolant passage walls, an intake manifold gasket set, a smaller-diameter EGR orifice, and a new PCV Valve. This kit will probably fix BOTH of your problems.

The DORMAN part number for your car is 615-180 Shop around...prices vary considerably.

I have a 2002 cadillac dhs my service engine light came on. got codes P0174 and P171 could you tell me what they mean

P0174 System Too Lean (Bank #2)
P0171 System Too Lean (Bank #1)

System to lean means that a fuel injector or injectors may be plugged up, or the oxygen sensor is sensing too lean of a condition.

How many miles do you have on this engine?
Have the O2 sensors ever been changed?

When was the last time you had a tune up?

Can a bad intake plenum leak antifreeze into the engine on a 2002 century 3.1?The computer code was misfire #1 cylinder. Complete tune-up done, same problem, new#1 injector, same problem. Now the coolant...

I see a lot of lower intake gasket leaks on these but usually you get an external leak or you'll find coolant mixed with the oil, not a misfire. Upper plenum is dry on the 3.1 and just bolts onto the top of the lower intake. We usually apply pressure to the cooling system overnight with the spark plug removed from the misfiring cylinder. If there is coolant in the cylinder come morning then you only have to figure out where it is coming from. If the plenum is removed during the test you might be able to see where the coolant is or isn't coming from with a borescope by looking down the intake runner.

Overheats and stalls at lights

you should first FIX the leak. if not enough coolant, the sensor won't activate the radiator fan, thus overheating occurs.

The cadillac leaks anifreeze but not from radiator or upper or lower hose what could it be

The water pump bearing may be worn out and you have the antifreeze leak from the water pump or from one of the frost plugs on the engine block it self. Good luck and hope this helps, chances are it's going to be the water pump if it's the original pump.

My 96 Eldo Norstar is overheating only when I idle. Pressure is good. No leaks but it needs fluid every other day or so. What could be the problem?

if you dont have external leaks.check crank case oil if it look like milk shake you have a head gasket leak or intake.you can lose coolant if you got a small intake leak the antifreeze leak in combustion chamber burn with gas.if all good .you have more water than antifreeze water will evaporate away causing low coolant then it will over heat.
