Sonic LX V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 77,000 miles

This should be a recall no one could find the leak. I brought it to the mechanic and they said nothing was wrong bc they couldn't find the leak ... here it was leaking into my engine and blew a head gasket I can see a lot of us are having these issues
