GM made a couple of engines, the 3.1 and 3.4 v6, from the early 90s to
the mid 00s, that have coolant in the intake manifolds.  They also
used crappy plastic gaskets that fail, and leak into the oil.  Just
one of the things that gave GM a reputation for making crap cars: make
a defective engine, and sell it for 15 years.
