1994 lumina van 3.8 engine runs fine.. no coolant in oil pan.. ?... just
the rad. I am reading the lumina and all non supercharged 3.8 motors had
intake manifold problems.. is this true ?.. Any help would be great..I'd
hate to spend 200 replacing gaskets and it be the head.. II only noticed
because I was checking the fluids... the van sat for 1 year so I figure the
gasket dried out and sprung a leak..

This is not usually a problem with that engine, is it motor oil?, or an oily
slime like seperated glycol?
