Not Unless You Allow Enough Coolant Loss To Overheat Engine. If Your Reservoir Isn`t Leaking Too Bad Keep A Watch On Your Water Level You Will Be OK. But If You Have Decent Weather You Can Remove The Reservoir, Clean It Up. At a Parts House Buy A Two Part Epoxy (clear) Apply It To The Hole Or Crack On The Tank Allow It To Dry. Put It Back On Good As New. GOOD LUCK

What would cause oil to leak into the antifreeze reservoir on a Chevy Venture?
If it is motor oil in the anti freeze, then it is either a cracked head, cracked engine block, or a head gasket blown. If it is transmission fluid in your antifreeze, then the radiator is leaking from the transmission cooler ----- although usually that would cause antifreeze to be in your transmission fluid.

If it is loosing coolant then you have a leak. Could be the reservoir itself is leaking. Cold also be a leaking water pump, or a blown head gasket. Have this looked at immediately as a blown head gasket will cause serious engine damage. You need to find this leak.Answerif this helps, when antifreeze/coolant leaks in to the engine 99% of the time the vehicle will blow white smoke out the tail pipe.also if your oil changes to a milky white substance you have antifreeze/coolant leaking into the engine.the previous answer has the right sugestions,have it checked.
