It is probably the intake manifold gasket or a headgasket that has failed.

Unforunately both are big jobs, the lesser of the two would be an intake manifold gasket leak. This is very common on these vehicles.

ALL of the LABOR is mostly done if you go for a Intake gasket replacement. If you have a Venture. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and spend the extra for the head gasket replacement. Otherwise. You WILL pay for the labor TWICE!

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
