Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a problem with coolant leaking into oil possibly due to a bad oil cooler in the engine. the problem was fixed at a local mechanic shop. after a while, sometime in march of 2003 the problem reappeared and coolant is leaking into oil again. it also seemed that somebody replaced the oil cooler even before i bought the car. i had to pay a fortune to repair it the first time and now it's in the shop again and i will see what will happen this time. i am totally disappointed with cadillac, i will never buy another cadillac or possibly even gm after all the problems i had with this car. this was my first disappointment with american name car.*jb
