We have a 1995 Pontiac Transport. It leaks oil really bad. We go about fifteen miles, and then we have to add two more quarts of oil. We have a friend that had the same model of van. His van did the same thing. He repaired the manifold gasket three times. Each time costing $900. Finally on the fourth time this situation occurred again. He traded his van in on another vehicle. We however don't have the money to repair our van. We live on a social security income.

Leaking composite intake manifold on GM 3800 engine in 1995 Trans sport minivan. Fixed three times by GM from new, now leaking again. A definite design flaw, I have had the manifold changed more than my front brakes in 100,000 miles of driving!!

Plastic plenum warps on my 3800 V6 in 1995 Pontiac Transport every 35,000 miles. Coolant leakage and possible coolant in oil causing severe damage, this is the second time, 1st at 35,000 2nd at 73,000 miles. GM customer assistance center will not cover parts or labor on any complaints over 36,000 miles. This is happening on multyple vehicles with some newer models at 7,000 to 20,000 miles. If driven to extreme and engine freezes, could cause handling problems. GM customer assistance denied any coverage for me with only 73,000 miles on the vehicle and this happening twice to me. Results are $650 unless there are other problems with the engine in result of the coolant leakage.
