Pontiac released a recall of 1997-" Grand Prix's due to a severe engine oil leak that can cause the car to catch fire. We have a 1995 Grand Prix with a 3.1L engine that has a severe oil leak also. The leak has been diagnosed from the lower intake manifold gasket with a $1000 repair estimate. I believe the engine is almost identical to the ones used in 1997-" model years. Pontiac should include all Grand Prix's with this engine in their recall!

Oil loss uncorrected by dealer after 4 or more attempts. Technical bulletin from Pontiac finally found by dealer after 6 months of oil monitoring etc. Replaced PCV, valve cover assembly and harness due to supposed clean burning of oil per bulletin. Problem still not corrected.

Engine/piston is scuffing. Engine cylinder wall wears out faster, and the vehicle uses more oil. The dealer's service department is aware of the problem, and is trying to contact the field service to replace the engine.
