Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Had intake gasket replaced in feb. of 2006 for coolant leaking into engine oil, because of said gasket failing (77,000 approx. mi.) noticed coolant level dropping again in jan. 2007 (85,000 mi.) found white/brown sludge in oil again!apparently the problem is back and i am told it will keep coming back until gm corp. comes up with a permanent fix. why are they not concerned about this? i can't afford to keep on fixing this problem that has no end in sight. i like my car but if gm won't address obvious design flaws i'll have to buy from somebody else. *jb
