Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my 00 GT. I have noticed that is is losing oil at a rate of about a quart a month plus is loses coolant at the same rate or a little faster. The car runs well, but I have noticed now that it is getting warm that if I am not moving or moving in slow traffic and have the AC on then the car will get very hot (220-240 before I shut the AC off). Turning the AC off and rolling down the windows keeps the car from getting too hot. I have flushed the coolant last summer and ran it with water several times, flushed, ran with water, flushed, etc. to try to get any of the dexcool out of the system. I now have 50/50 regular coolant water mix and I am still having overheating issues. I do notice the smell of burning coolant when I shut off the car sometimes, and it appears that coolant is weeping onto the heads (both) on both ends of the motor. My thought is LIM gaskets probably need replacing but would that account for the oil loss too? There is never a drop of coolant or oil under the car even after parking for several days. Other than the coolant that appears to be on the heads of the motor I do not see any other leaks of coolant or oil. Any help is appreciated. I am still looking for a how-to thread on changing the LIM gaskets.
TIA
Allen
ETA:
I bled the system well after flushing it and have also replaced the thermostat.
