@soonerfreak1973 the leak might be coming from the O-ring seal on the coolant outlet pipe at the lower intake manifold.Try to rent/buy a radiator pressure tester,so u can pressurize the system while engine is cool.Once the system is pressurize, it will be easier to identify the coolant leak. Replace the thermostat with a "FAIL-SAFE"(thermostat).Make sure the cooling fans cycle NO&OFF.Always use 100%(fully concentrated)coolant, not water. Water damages the cooling system by corrosion.

Great video, one thing to pass on. Be careful not to push the top pipe into the block first, it can go in too far and WILL NOT come back out. The hole is cut on a taper to the back. Trust me< idid it and it sucked, I had to break off the pipe and get another set of tubes. They only cost 4 dollars at auto zone.

Hello I have a 2000 impala and the message center is showing. Service Vehicle Soon and Low Coolant level. I took it too the dealership and they ran the diagnostics on it and said the intake gaskets is leaking. How cab I replace this. They are charging me way too much.

@timothymbess Dexcool comes premixed 50/50 with WATER AND you can also buy it fully concentrate with NO WATER and mix it yourself. All dexcool is NOT premixed, do a search if you need to. I buy dexcool fully concentrated, not mixed and then mix it myself, it is a lot cheaper doing it this way. The comment I was responding to says to use fully concentrated without adding water, this is not recommended by any manufacturer and is not good for the car.

@ponch37300 - GM uses DexCool for a lot of vehicles, which is a proprietary coolant liquid; it's not standard antifreeze/coolant. For lack of a better word, it comes "pre-mixed" -- in other words, it's just the right mixture right out of the can.
