2001 ga w/ upper intake problems

[harvick3]

1. i have had my car serviced 3 times for the same problem.. but i have had enough of the 3.4l v6 junk that the dealer says is right.. it would be fine for a day then back to drip drip drip.. on the final visit the apparently just put some putty on it.. now my transaxle is a puddle of oil and i cannot see were the leak is.. i have used dyes and everything..

2. i have high pitched sqeaul coming from my left front wheel when i hit 35mph or higher.. it isnt the brakes i just replaced them and them pedal is fine...

3. darn engine light comes on only when its cold out..

i know its alot im asking but please someone help me...

I also own a 2001 Grand Am with the 3.4 hunk of junk in it...my leak started on the lower intake seal and now i noticed the other day that the upper intake seal is leaking also...yesturday i started it up and got about a minute from my house and my low coolant light came on, i just serviced the car not even 2 months ago and im already VERY low on coolant...any suggestions????

my roommate's mom has the same exact car and they have replaced the lower intake seal SIX times since she bought it and its fine for a couple weeks then starts leaking again...have heard talks that it is possibly the coolant that the manufactures recomend, that they have been testing it and now have found that it is eating those upper and lower seals...any truth in this statement?? HELP WANTED PLEASE!!!
