Most common is a loss of coolant, coolant leak down the side of the engine. Other problems can be coolant in the oil, oil in the coolant. If blown out between cylinders it can cause a miss fire and/or loss of power, backfire, etc. etc.

Hard to move it when there's no indication what year the vehicle is, or if its even an F-Body.
