    Yep, Because the Dexcool eats the plastic. The old 3.8 Bonnevilles that had the plastic gaskets and the old green coolant (before there was dexcool) the gaskets looked new after 125,000 miles. Some guy on the Bonneville Club tore one down. He did the same thing to a 02 GP @ 50k miles and the gaskets were trashed.

    i would love for it to be a pcv valve and thermostat gasket lol i changed the pcv valve last spring, so i'm not thinkin it's too likely that it's clogged already... but I'm going to check.

    Just did mine this weekend .... here are a few failed LIM gasket photos. Check out the crud I had in my PCV case! Had some in the valve covers too and of course the oil cap. Oil has always looked fine though. Would eat nearly a gallon of antifreeze per month.
