Non Mark VIII question

[MrScalia]

my step-son was given a 97 Intrepid with many problems CE lite, trany sliping, pass mirror missing , Out of state plates.

What does it mean when at fluid has bubbles on the dip stick???

Which Fluid?

Tranny? Then it sounds like real old/bad fluid

Motor Oil? Good indication of a blown headgasket. Especially if the oil is milky.

You will have a bit of "bubbles" on the tranny dipstick, not many, but some. Is the fluid red or brownish? If brown with a burnt smell, it's toast.


Like frogman said.....Milky looking oil is indicative of a head gasket problem,(which is a common thing with those engines.) In all honesty I think your stepson was just given a headache that is gonna lighten his pocket substantially. My sister used to own an intrepid, and got rid of it within 3 months.
