Replying to: caperguy4u (Jan 04, 2009 5:18 am) Had the same problem. Ended up being a head gasket. Lots of money to fix. I used STEEL SEAL cost me $80.00 and it is still working 2 months later. I average about 400 miles per week on my 2000 Venture. I had no signs of water in coolent or blowing smoke just constant high pressure in cooling system. Hope this helps.

Replying to: rkarch (Jan 05, 2009 10:04 am) Could you clarify your symptoms? Think you meant to say no oil in coolant or vise versa? Also what do you mean by high pressure in cooling system? I think you mean the coolant was boiling over? I am tucking your suggestion to use Steel Seal away incase my engine acts up again. It appears to have a small leak that may be triggering a check engine light for a catylatic converter problem.
