have coolant system pressure tested and look for the leaks
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).
The heater core has failed and is leaking engine coolant.
Look on the side of the coolant overflow bottle. There should be a low mark for the coolant for a cool engine, and one for a hot engine.
Either a blown head gasket or a cracked block possibly
dex-cool coolant---it is orange in color.
Intake manifold at top of engine?
My car is is running hot and smoking... i discovered the coolant was low i added new coolant and its pouring out the bottom of my car My car is is running hot and smoking... i discovered the coolant was low i added new coolant and its pouring out the bottom of my car
Need to check the 4 corners on the intake manifold. It is common for the intake to leak engine coolant.
Where is coolant fan switch located on 1998 chevy Malibu with 3 .1
it takes dex-cool coolant,
There is a heater hose that goes to the left rear top side of the intake manifold and that fitting leaks engine coolant sometimes and it will run down the back of the intake around the distributor. If that fitting is not leaking then the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant in the corners of it. REplace the intake gasket. That's all that can leak coolant on that year engine. If coolant is leaking out between the transmission and engine block then you have a freeze plug leaking in the back of the engine, between the transmission and block. Must remove the transmission and flywheel to fix it.
Chevy did not build a Malibu in 1995.
