A SUNNY AND MILD MAY 6

+ It is a beautiful day along the Erie Canal.
+ Our 1999 Chevy Lumina has been losing antifreeze. I have discovered that this is a common problem for many Chevy engines. If it had begun to leak before 7 years since purchase we would have been entitled to some money from GM. A mechanic we know has recommended we pay the price for replacing the lower intake gasket which is a big job ($850). He says it's a very good engine outside of the antifreeze problem. We are still pondering purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle since we definitely need a reliable car.
