Ditto on intake gasket issue or head gaskets This was a commonly known. As to whether GM corp will do anything is up for grabs.

Take it to a competent Tech/garage and first have them remove trhe intake to check for failing gaskets or electrolisys damage to the intake.
If not then proceed to the cyl head gaskets.

The 3.8 is an excellent engine that will go 225K + miles will average care. Don't trash it. If you buy used you are buying another 3.8 with the same futute time bomb.
