Coolant leaking into oil

Asked by Kaelyn Jul 17, 2023 at 07:41 PM about the 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I believe my car has coolant leaking into the oil line.
My coolant keeps going dry and empty (so fast it’s
not normal) and my oil has obvious water in it.
There is no puddle underneath my car so I know it’s
not leaking and there is not any smoke or steam
coming out of my hood. Does anyone think it’s the
intake manifold gasket or the head gasket?

It's going to be the head gasket. The 3.4L V6 is notorious for blowing head gaskets and the 2.4L 4 cylinder doesn't have coolant going through the intake manifold. So if I were to bet, I'd say head gaskets. Sorry! Jim
