We own a 1998 Buick LeSabre. It overheated on a trip. we immediately turned off the air and the temp came down below the red zone. We stopped very shortly there after. When we drove again, we drove to the nearest gas station and filled the radiator which instantly cooled the engine back down to where it typically ran. When we drove off, it spitted and sputtered and the engine light came on so we pulled off again... Someone looked at it for us but it stopped running rough. They couldn't hear or see a problem and we were told it might just be the oxygen sensor. We drove the 2-3 hours home without incident. THe next morning it was drove 5 miles, the engine light went off and it began spitting and sputtering again. We made it home and it hasn't started since. It wouldn't even turn over, just a click. There seems to be nothing in the oil (except oil) a mechanic had taken it. he pulled the spark plugs and fluid/water and antifreeze came out of 4-6 of the cylinders when he tried to turn it over. He thought it was the head. Another person hearing our saga suggested it might be the plenium especially since the fluid was in several cylinders and it would not even try to start.
