Hi, everybody:

I will appreciate a lot some help with this problem. I have a Chevrolet Malibu 2000 car with 99,000 miles. My car has been leaking coolant since 2 months ago, and I have to pour coolant approx. every 2 to 3 weeks. I use the Koolzone coolant (green color), not the Dexcool coolant recommended by the manufacturer.
I took the car to a mechanic and he told me that some gasket (junta de la araña) was damaged. I checked with a local automobile parts store and they told me that the kit with 2 plenum gaskets and 2 juntas (gaskets) de la araña could be purchased at $ 50. I do not know if it is better on long time for my car to change the 4 gaskets or to change only the damaged gasket. What do you think?
 
I would change only the damaged gasket.Why fix something that is not broke.More expense for nothing..
 
One day find the leak(s) empty the coolant put silicon on the leaking hole and let it dry fill it back up. Better than taking everything apart.
