Mine doesnt leak.

Both the ford and chevy fleet motors at my work leak. But they both seem to last a while. I think every motor has its problems.

If cars didn't have problems, there wouldn't be a need for mechanics.

just wait for obd III and IIII that system will use onboard wireless communication to contact the proper athourity figures of a emissions/check engine light and it will imply a 7 start rule that will shut down functions in the car after every start up to seven starts then it will disable the motor send a message to the proper authorities and call you on a cell phone and alert you that you need to contact your local dealer and will give you a list of local dealers.!!!! fuck that as a privite car owner :cry: fuck yeah as a mechanic....ca- chinggggggg$$$$$$ :twisted: i wont need to sell anything cus ill already know what is comin in and what to fix...GRAVY!

My neighbors 3800 had a bad intake gasket, He has a friend that's a GM tech and it's apparently quite common on the 3800.
