hey everyone, new owner of a 00 monte SS and well now sadly having problems oil leak coolant leak and after looking into it i think it might be the dex cool thats in it heh. But well hey everyone

 

heyy! welcome to the forum! congrats on the monte but that sucks to hear about the leak. got any pics?

 

Welcome to the site - if I were you, after you get the leak fixed, put regular coolant in.

 

Welcome to the MCF family.
I personally don't believe it's the dex-cool causing the leak. Not in a car that new. Late 90's, yes, but they changed gasket materials, and that problem went away. We havea '99 Silverado with 208,000, and it's always had dex-cool, and I just did a change this summer and put it back in.
I'm about to change it out again in my Intimidator, and I got the Prestone that can be used in any car this time, but it's still long life. To me that's the issue.
Anyways, my guess is the lower intake manifold is leaking, as it's a common problem.

 

got a few pics but may take a bit to get them up i just got done with a radiator flush put reg coolant in it and hopefully it solvs for the mean time till i get the money

 

Welcome to the forum! These cars aren't very hard to work with but get a Chilton's Manual anyway so you can have the correct technical support for your car.

Welcome to the forum!!

 

Welcome! Good luck getting your Monte all fixed up.

I would agree with Wayne (RockNSS04) that you probably have a LIM gasket leaking. Pressure test our cooling system.

 

Welcome.
