I WORKED ON AN 98 BUICK 3800 MOTOR I PULLED OFF THE PLENTIOM and the intake under it was filled with coolant but the oil did not have coolant in i took off the intake replaced the water pump put new gaskets in the intake and plentiom and new plugs the car started up. it ran fine and the starter went out the people that own the car keeped on trying to start it and flooded it realy bad i changed the starter and changed plugs again it poped at first but started it ran pretty good for 15 minutes then it started tighting up and died the intake gaskets i changed were leaking and junk i was woundering if the coolant is a cracked intake or if the head gaskets blew out after i fixed the intake gaskets and i was told the car overheated before i worked on it
