Internal leaks can mix coolant into the oil, while external leaks can cause coolant to drip on the ground.

  3. Power Steering Pump Failure: The power steering pump is another common problem in the 1992 Chevrolet truck. Symptoms of a failing power steering pump include difficulty turning the steering wheel, especially at low speeds. Replacing the power steering pump involves removing the old pump and installing a new one.
  4. Windshield Wiper Board Failure: The windshield wiper board can also fail in the 1992 Chevroly truck. Symptoms of a failing windshield wiper board include intermittent or non-functioning windshield wipers. Replacing the windshield wiper board involves removing the old board and installing a new one.
