whats not working? spark or fuel pressure? you can locate leak with pressure test.

A local GM dealer tells me the engine is ruined because of the anti- freeze inside the engine. Is this probable?

seems unlikely unless you drove it that way for a time? ask them to be more specific as to damage. usually it's overheat related if at all.
