I just bought this catera in feb. The head gaskets where just replaced right before i bought the car. after driveing it for a week or so i noticed the low coolant light on and when i checked it its clear that theres also oil in the coolant and after driveing the car for awhile i can smell coolant. ive been told this could be a bad intake gasket or that the heads may not of sealed right when they where redone. really not wanting to have one or the other fixed and find out that didnt fix it. has anyone else had this problem? ive read many reports on the net sayin this is a common problem with the catera. if anyone has any advice or know what exactly the problem is i would appreciate it. Oh and also - after ive put some miles on new oil the cars oil light will come on and the guage will start reading lower than normal - just thought i would add that.
