UNFORTUNATELY, I have a 2001 Malibu and have had gaskets replaced three times now (intake and head) to fix coolant leaks. My sister and mom both have the same engine in their cars and have similar problems. Apparently this engine is prone to coolant leaks (which are pricey to repair).


Why is your Malibu dumping coolant on the ground?

Obviously, there is a leak somewhere. It's possible that it is the gasket leaking, and sorry to tell you that it will be pretty expensive to replace. Without more details of the leaking, I can't tell you much more. When mine was leaking, I was able to get it fixed under warranty. I hope you are as lucky.
