That is a concern. Can you see where the coolant is leaking from? Have you noticed any white smoke from the exhaust? Has the car ever overheated? Has the oil light ever indicated low pressure? And finally, have you ever noticed a creamy mixture on the dipstick or on the underside of the oil cap?

Sorry for so many questions. Let me know.
