Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Lower and upper gaskets are leaking. these leaks drop on hot parts of the engine and create smoke fume. i had the lower gasket replaced for about $500. i know that similar services are done 2 more times in the history of this car for the exact problem. i doubt that there is a design issue on this area. *jb
