my friend just bought a 91 acclaim that sat for 2 years without being touched. it burns oil badly. no leaks just bad burning. i also smell strong amounts or coolant in the oil. him and his dad say nothing is wrong and there is no coolant in the oil but i think the headgasket is cracked or something.... the car idles high, then almost dies out and keeps changing and it also has trouble accelerating from 20 - 40 it almost dies out. even tho we cannot find ANY leakage, he has to top up his oil 3-4 times a day. approx 1 litre per day. i am 100% shure i smell coolant in the oil... both my father and grandpa are retired mechanics and even tho i am only 17 i have had my fair share of cars and i work at penzoil, changing oil. what is wrong with this damn acclaim??????
