Customer Question

2003 Buick LeSabre. My engine coolant is draining out, like pretty fast (within an hour of filling it up). In the past, the auto repair service said (in 2009) that I should have my intake manifold gaskets replaced. Could it be because of this or a hole in the coolant hose (though when I felt the length of it, it wasn't wet).

 

Country: United States
Make: Buick GMC
Model: LeSabre
Year: 2003

Already Tried:
Refilling the coolant.

Hello!

YES! This could very well be the root cause of the coolant leak you are having.

However, there are other things that it can be. I would recommend to get the cooling system pressure checked just to be sure before proceeding with the intake manifold job.
