Engine Performance problem
1992 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive

My car started pouring out all of its coolant when i started it one day, when i took it to the shop the mechanic said there wasn't anything he could do because i have oil in my reservoir. How could it have gotten there and is there really no saving this car now?

Probably not worth saving... a new or rebuilt engine is the solution, and boiling out the radiaitor to clean the oil out, this will cost more than the cars value... but it is your money.
