Got my car back from the mechanic after UIM failure...they flushed the block really good,put on a new MAP sensor and UIM. I haven't drove the car very much but noticed the t-stat was leaking coolant yesterday so I changed it to a 180*(I had been planning on doing it for some time)....I drove the car a few miles last night and the 'Check Engine' light came on...I looked this morning and the oil is full of coolant again.....any idea'* what could be leaking now?...could have the mechanic fluffed up the new UIM? or could it be leaking in from somewhere else? :?

But - you're right, that is not part of the UIM process.
