Engine and engine cooling: cooling system: hoses/lines/piping/fittingsReported March 21, 1994 · 8,475 vehicles affected

What is wrong: The engine oil cooler inlet hose may have been installed too close to the steering gear causing chafing. The chafing can eventually wear through the hose's protective sleeve resulting in engine oil leaking onto the engine.
Risk: If this occurs, the oil leak onto the engine can result in an engine compartment fire.

Two bolts on the left exhaust manifold failed (broke)allowing exhaust to leak into the passenger compartment. Exact date of and milage of bolts breaking is not known. I did not notice it until the exhaust started leaking and making noise. The dealer wanted $800.00 to fix the problem. I believe the bolts are defective and should be replaced at gm's cost not mine. Exhaust bolts should not break, they were not touched or worked on by anyone, they just broke. Must be defective or torked too tight at factory.
