The contact owns a 1997 Cadillac Eldorado. The low coolant indicator would illuminate and the contact constantly had to refill the coolant receptacle. The oil light illuminated once. While driving the contact noticed a cloud of smoke appearing from under the hood. A repair shop diagnosed the failure as blown head bolts from within the block. The vehicle needed a new transmission. The current and failure mileage were 53000.
