Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: My 1998 oldsmobile regency was losing coolant. i could not see a visible leak. the check engine indicator light came on, so i took the vehicle to be serviced. the mechanic found the upper intake (plenum) to be leaking the coolant into the engine (cylinder #3.) the leak was caused due to the fact that the intake plenum is made of plastic. i intend to send oldsmobile a copy of my bill which was $533.32. why would a company make a part such as this out of plastic? by the way, my indicator light is still on, so i will need to have a dealer check it out, as the original mechanic can find no reason for it remaining lit. *nm
