97 buick skylark, 2.4 L, it's leaking water and I'm not sure how to fix it. it looks like it is leaking from a seal, if your under the car on the passenger side, and you look up, at the bottom of where you put the oil in, it looks like it's connected to the engine by a gasket. I'm not sure what that is, i'm not real educated about front wheel drive and i feel like an idiot, i need help, thank you
I had the same problem a month ago. I thought it was the thermostat, which sits inside the lower water feed tube that runs from the radiator, under the car and up between the engine and trans axle to the thermostat housing and water-inlet housing attached to the water pump. I replaced it and it kept leaking. So I got under the car with a mirror and a light and found that it was leaking from a weep hole in the water pump. This happens when the water pump seal is bad. to replace the water pump you nearly have to take apart the back of the engine and the timing chain cover. The waterpump is mounted at the bottom of the back of the engine and is turned by the timimng chain. It took me two days to fix, and it was not easy. There are a couple of sites that have info, which helped me. It's about a $600 - $900 job if you take it to a repair shop.
That would be the water pump which is run by the timing chain.
