Replying to: primnumbers (Mar 17, 2007 3:45 pm) I have a 1992 Lumina Euro, I may be getting ahold of the bumpers, side skirts, trunk lid, hood and liscenceplate/revers lights form a 1993 Z34, does anybody know if all of those parts are interchangeable between the two?   I know the reverse lights and bumpers are different, but the Z34 liscenceplate holder and reverse lights should bolt into place of my original revers lights and fit because it will have the z34 bumper right?   I dont see why the side skirts or front bumper or hood wouldnt bolt up, but it anybody has any ideas or suggestions that would be great!   thanks!

Hey Everyone,   I recently purchased my Lumina. Had the oil changed. That's not the problem. After purchased (from Step-dad)I looked under the car and noticed that is had a bunch of oil underneith. It also drips a few drops after I drive it. Slow drip. When I had the oil changed I asked the mechanic if he would look at it. He says he "thinks" it may be the Valve cover gasket. How do I tell if it is that or if it is the head gasket? The car seems to be running fine and makes no unusal noises. Another question: I looked in the "Reserve tank"...for the antifreeze. It is extremely low and looks nasty. Planning on getting a flush. Can you tell me exactly what is done when they do this. I apprieciate every anwser. I am a woman and would like to go into this knowing like I know something about what is done. Thanks Replies to this message: jpf (May 10, 2007 7:06 pm) deborahf (May 11, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: deborahf (May 10, 2007 9:01 am) Is the coolant green or red? I believe GM did not switch to Dexcool (red coolant) until 1996. Dexcool has been the subject of many complaints. I would get the flush and new coolant. If the leak problems persist (oil and coolant), I would get an oil analysis to make sure the coolant is not leaking into the oil. This would cause major engine damage. Also, GM vehicles with the 3.1 liter V6 engine tend to have a leaking intake manifold gasket. Most Lumina models used this engine. If this is the problem you need to get it fixed as soon as possible. Good luck. Replies to this message: deborahf (May 11, 2007 1:04 pm)

Replying to: jpf (May 10, 2007 7:06 pm) jpf....Thanks for replying. I checked the color in the reserve tank and it looks like it is supposed to be green. I rubbed between fingers and it feels pretty oily. It probably shouldn't feel that way...that's my guess. We are probably talking big bucks getting a dealer to repair... Deborah.

Does anti-freeze feel oily to the touch? If I needed the intake manifold gasket replaced, should this be done before the radiator flush? Is there any other parts that would need to be replaced while repairing the above? Radiator hoses? Thermostat? Also...when checking the air-conditioner, what does that involve?

I need to remove the back spring system from my neighbors car. Dose anyone hava clue on how to do it, where the bolts are? What does it involve? Is it hard? Please help. The rear end of the car almost touches the ground and makes for a rough ride.

Replying to: deborahf (May 12, 2007 4:24 am) The best way to determine if oil is in the anti-freeze is to have an analysis done. If the oil and coolant are mixing you need to find the problem and have it fixed right of way. I suggested a leaking intake gasket may be your problem because this problem is common with GM's V6's. Changing the coolant without fixing the problem is just a short-term fix until the coolant got contaminated again. I would also change the hoses and thermostat. Good luck.

Only adds a couple dollars to the job.
