LARGE INTAKE LEAK, ANTIFREEZE LEAKING INTO THE OIL MILKED OIL. WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL I FOUND THIS SO STARTED LOOKING FOR OTHER PROBLEMS. I PUT A PRESSURE TEST ON THE RADIATOR AND FOUND THE LEAK IMMEDIATELY! THE ANTIFREEZE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE FRONT EDGE OF THE #1 CYLINDER!I AM VERY UP SET TO HEAR THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE G.M. RECALL THEIR TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM! I REPAIRED THE PROBLEM MYSELF. IF I HAD TO PAY SOME ONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IT WOULD HAVE COST IN THE RANGE OF $700-$900.
