I have a 1998 buick century with 3.1 engine.,with water leak

The water leak is at the bottom of the engine. does not appear to be coming from water pump. only leaks while running. I was told to remove belt, pulleys, and there will be several bolts holding a plate on. I was told to remove the cover and there will be nylon elbows that are cracked and leaking. Is this possible or am i in for a surprise?

SOURCE: Heater/AC Fan does not work in our 1998 Buick Century

Fan will be under dash on passengers side , Removing glove box might be needed, Gm also uses a blower resister ro control fan speeds. First check your fuse and then check and make sure your getting 12 volts to the terminal at the blower, You could have a blown fuse, a bad switch, or a bad resister , if your getting voltage to blower motor then most likely it will be the motor. These are not to difficult to change. I hope this helps, please be aware I can only guess at what the problem is from my past experience.

SOURCE: 1999 Buick Century thermostat question.

patience , and a 13 MM wrench , you gotta get your arms in there deep , that lower bolt does not need to come all the way off , the thermostat housing has a slot at the bottom for easier access , loosen it about 3.4 of the way and you can get the housing out , experience says a premium thermostat will give you grief trying to reinstall , get a regular duty thermostat .reverse procedure.

You need to poke a small extension with a 13mm socket through the holes in the power steering pulley, undo it, and slide it back.

SOURCE: coolant leak 1998 buick external

it sounds like the water pump may be leaking beacuse when runnung the seal is lubricated and may not be leaking at that time but when left over night the seal in the water pump contract and starts to leak. check for stains and leaks with a mirror before starting in the morning i think you will find that it is leaking. don't worry they are not bad to change. good luck

Car losing antifreeze water, no visable leaks, car overheating. 1998 buick century, v6

if you have no visible leaks and it is overheating then it sounds like you have a head gasket leak internally.the coolant is going some where .get the cooling system pressure tested to make sure you don`t have a leak externally.if the coolant is not leaking out the radiator then this indicates the thermostat is not stuck.what ever the problem is change the thermostat at the time of repair.

My 1998 buick century is leaking coolant from the engine where the water pump is mounted.

it could be a loos hose clip or the water pump, there is a gasket behind the water pump this could be leaking as well there is a quick fix you could try if its a clip or gasket leaking it should stop the leak,but it wont stop a water pump leaking ,,,,,,,,,,,
get some "rad seal" and tip it into the rad,,,not the header tank it go's right into the rad then top it up with water and run up the engine itll its hot after a short time the leak should stop,,fords put it in all there new cars and vans that come out there fatctorise,, so if its good for them to use it,, it must work?

I have a 1999 buick century that leaks antifreeze, coming from between the front covr and the block, left side of the motor. need help please.

head gasket maybe at fault
buy a can of coolant dye at any auto parts store
install the dye into the coolant
you will need an ultra violet lamp to shine around the suspected area to find the leak after the engine has ran for 30 minutes

I have a 1998 Buick Regal supercharger that is leaking antifreeze under the engine. What are the possible causes and repairs?

I would start by checking the water pump. Look at the bottom of it and see if coolant is running down the front of the engine from the hole in the bottom of it. If that appears to be okay look at the sides of your engine. There are 3 frost plugs on each side about halfway between the oil pan and the heads.They will occasionally rust out and leak too. I assume that you have already checked the obvious rad hoses and radiator for leaks. Hope this helps.

Where is the water pump in a 1999 buick century

The water pump is on the top. While facing the engine (front-wheel drive), it is the closest part to you that is on the belt. It is in front of the power-steering pump (slightly lower).
