Leaking UIM
I smelled some coolant and checked the engine to see a little bit of coolant leaking from the UIM. My question to you guys is, how long do i have before this needs to be addressed?
I know most of you will say as soon as possible but i dont have access to tools and would have to find a break between school/work.

Just a quick question before i go to the mechanic, If its my UIM. Do i need to replace the LIM gasket also? what have others been doing when they have had a failed UIM?

I got a quote today for a UIM replacement kit, coolant flush, oil change, + labor to be around $630. Does that sound resonable?

Make sure you replace it with a sleeved, reduced diameter egr. APN is a good choice.
Also, for LIM gaskets, preferred are GM'* Aluminum gaskets.
Hope you get that done quick, wouldn't want to see another engine death in the bonne family if it can be prevented.

Yeah they are doing the LIM also. I think when i asked him, he thought i was asking about the LIM and not the gasket.
She should be done by the end of the day hopefully, want to get this UIM/LIM off of my mind.
