2006 Ion coolant light and leak
Need some help and advice please. I keep my ion in as good condition as possible. Regular oil changes, filters, hoses checked etc.. on a regular basis. Recently I had a small leak which looked like oil. My garage told me it was possibly a rear main seal that needed to be replaced. Once that was done, it was discovered the oil pan had a small leak in the corner and had that repaired.. Now I have a larger leak which looks like antifreeze as my oil level is fine and the coolant message came on. I also noticed the temp gauge goes up to halfway after just a few miles of driving. No way this can just be the thermostat with the leak I am seeing right. I saw something mentioned in another thread about replacing the coolant tank? any help is appreciated. Thank you. BTW, 140K

It depends on maintenance, Dexcool is supposed to be a 5 year coolant. If you have changed your coolant at least one time you are probably ok. When I go into an Ecotec for any chain work I replace the pump. I had to replace the pump on my driver and my grandson’s Alero as a maintenance item. I should have replaced my pump when I installed the engine.
