Small amounts of coolant just started showing up in oil. It is a 1999 Lumina with 3.1 & 88,000 miles. HELP.

Blown head gasket. No if or and buts about it. Pull the heads and do the whole 9 yds. Good luck

There are two leaks these engines have, the lwoer intake gaskets if there has been an external leak from the intake gaskets they start to leak internal, other possibility is a head gasket popped but most likely the lwoer intake gasket, anything else let me know, I get emailed when there is a new post
