I currently have this problem with my Grand Am. I was told that it was the intake manifold gasket a kind of costly repair if you can't do it yourself. A lot of GM vehicles have this problem because they use the coolant DEX-COOL which wear away at the manifold over time. Doing my own research I found out that most manifolds on cars who use this type ofcoolant should get their manifold changed at about 60,000 miles. Some wear down before then. I believe that GM has made a better manifold to which it wouldn't wear as fast but I know many repair shops I have spoken with recommend that I get my coolant system flushed to have it use another type of antifreeze.
What else can I help you with?

Coolant reservoir, or directly in the radiator. If you are having to add much coolant, you need to find out why. Serious engine damage can occur if it is leaking inside the engine.
How much does it cost to recharge coolant in 1999 Chevy Tahoe?
You do not recharge coolant, you replace it. If you are referring to refrigerant in the A/C unit, then first you need to have the leak repaired. It would not need recharging unless it is leaking. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system that is leaking without repairing the leak. This is a job for a professional with the proper tools and knowledge. This is not a DIY repair. The cost depends on where the leak is.

I would doubt you would pour engine block sealer into coolant. More likely it would just need to be put in with the oil. Like lucas. I dont know your particular product. Depends also, are you leaking coolant, or burning it?

Can the oil cooler on a 1996 350 vortec leak anti-freeze into the engine oil?
Yes it can but the thing you have to look at is the oil pressure is higher the the coolant pressure. Your oil is about 30 to 60 psi, where as your coolant is about 16 psi, at running temp. I would look around the intake manifold in the corners of the heads to see if any coolant is leaking out or showing signs of wetting. Now the coolant can enter if the engine is off, the pressure in the coolant would seep in, put you can look under the rad cap to see of a caramel color sludge is under it. Then I would suspect the oil cooler. I have had to replace the intake gasket on a 91 Chevy seen the coolant leaking from the cross over of the heads to the water neck housing. Aluminum has a tendency to corrode at these areas of water cross over. If this is the problem, just add a little silicone to the adjoining areas of the intake and the gasket to the head and it will hold. Good luck. Forgot to add the you will have to remove the manifold to fix the leak if it is that area.
