JimD Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 You need to be a little more specific; most of the places that can leak/drip are on the driver's side of the engine on your model. How much coolant are you losing? Is the reservoir cap tight? Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadillac Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 The water pump cover gasket is prone to leakage. Get a new "updated" one at your neighborhood dealer for about $8.00. It is easy to replace. Don "Modern warriors saddle iron horses of chrome." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhall Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 You should also check the t-stat cover. Sometimes these will warp and a new seal alone won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 just something to keep in mind, i had an "unfindable" leak on my 99 deville, to make a long story short (see my previous posts on coolant overheat problem) it turned out to be one of 2, 3" green silicone hoses about the size of heater hose, but lime green in color. they are behind the engine on the driver's side, just below the head/valve cover. you have to lean over and look directly down between the firewall and the driver's side rear of the engine. each will have 2 small radiator type clamps on each end. they are almost impossible to get at!, just something for you to check. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
