Buick Roadmaster Problems
Fluid Leak From Rear of Transmission
The transmission extension housing seal may leak fluid, replacing the worn seal will commonly correct this concern.
Rear of Vehicle May Ride to High or Low
The auto level ride compressor may fail causing the rear of the vehicle to ride to high or too low.
Idler/Pitman Arm May Wear and Cause Looseness in Steering
The idler arm or pitman arm may wear causing looseness in the steering. When this occurs the front suspension will not be able to be aligned correctly.
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
