I recently acquired a 2000 GP GTP. The engine has about 15k miles on it... the second-prior owner to me didn't take very good care of the engine, so the owner prior to me had to replace it with a new one from GM. It's been babied since then, oil changes probably twice as often as need be, only premium fuel, etc.
I had the car on the lift on Tuesday to replace the passenger front lower control arm bushing, so I figured I'd take a peek at the motor and check things out. I know there's an oil leak, but I'm not so concerned about that at the moment. I don't think I have ever driven a car that hasn't had an oil leak. :P
I've noticed before that when I start driving (usually before the car is completely to temp), coolant will leak somewhere in the engine and steam off. It's quite a (scary) sight in the middle of winter when there's this billowing mentholy-smelling cloud coming out from under the hood.
The oil isn't milky or anything and the coolant is clean. The leak isn't very fast--the coolant is a little bit low, but it hasn't been topped off in a few months.
The leak appears to be on the drivers side of the engine somewhere, but I can't locate exactly where it is. Anyone have any ideas?
