2001 chevy 2500HD 6 liter engine with automatic tranny. Checked motor oil today, oil with water way over full. For 2 years its been losing coolant but couldn't see where. Today for first time ever, coolant showed on dipstick. Changed oil & filter 700 miles ago, no sign of coolant. Drove it about 200 yards to the barn, oil pressure same as always. Before, I barely stepped on accelerator & it took off. Noticed today it didn't want to move until the accelerator was pressed way down. Any known weaknesses that caused this leakage? Seems to me a buddy said several Chevys in a fleet he knew of had water pumps that leaked back into the motor. Truck sees only long distance Interstate trips or short trips on the farm. Prolly 5000 miles/yr. Assuming its the water pump & not head gasket or cracked block, and that it just started leaking coolant, will the engine be harmed bad enough to require overhaul? Or can I drain the oil, fix the problem & the engine is unharmed?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
