Oil leak where cooling tube enters radiator. 4.3 engine and AT. My mechanic and his father, a Buick service manager, say that this is extremely serious. It is apparently fairly common. Repair is about $400. Gasket at cooling tube/radiator connection loosens and will eventually break, losing all oil catastophically.
Truck is out of waranty but I will see if they will make a goodwill repair because of mileage and I had the truck checked just before waranty expired.
