Check the hose for leaks at the connection, if it is the original hose replace it and the thermostat and gasket.

SOURCE: 1996 buick roadmaster keeps overheating:

A shotgun approach to repairs can really rack up the bills.

If your symptoms are loss of water and you have replaced the thermostat, you more than likely have an issue with steam. And that steam more than often comes from a bad head gasket. Most head gasket gasket failures seem to be confined to the water side initially, but let it go on bigger damage will occur.
You can buy a litmus test strip to dunk in the coolant. It will indicate if there are exhaust residuals in the water and thus a gasket failure.

However it may just be something simple, given that you have just about replaced everything:

have you given the radiator a good hosing inside and out?
is the radiator fan running when it should be?

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.

SOURCE: How to change anti-freeze(coolant) on 2003 buick

Hello, perform the following steps in this order:
NOTE: car should be cool, in park and on non sloped surface.
NEVER leave used coolant in an area where children or pets can gain access, Anti freeze has ethylene glycol which can be lethal to humans and pets. Used coolant should be immediately taken in a sealed container to a local state certified recycler for proper disposal.
1.Raise front end of car, and place one jack stand under frame of car on the inside of each front wheel.
2.Place a 2 gallon (low profile) bucket under the radiator drain plug. The drain plug will be located at the bottom of the radiator.
3.Unscrew the drain plug and let coolant drain into bucket. (It may be necessary to adjust bucket so no coolant leaks onto the ground.
4.After all coolant has drained from the radiator, tighten radiator drain plug finger tight, then 1/8-1/4 of a turn with a wrench.
5.Unscrew radiator cap and begin filling radiator using 50/50
premixed antifreeze solution.
6.Continue adding premixed solution until fluid is just below the top lip of radiator where cap fastens to.
7.Re attach radiator cap and lock into place.
8.Check radiator overflow reservoir and ensure coolant is between add and full, add coolant as required.
PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS SOLUTION IF YOU FOUND THIS INFORMATION HELPFUL.

SOURCE: how to change a thermostat on a 95 buick century

follow your top radiator hose to top of the engine, where it hooks up with a hose clamp. under that metal housing is your thermostat! usually 2 or 3 bolts you remove , then lift off the metal housing and take out your old thermostat and remove the old gasket with a razor blade.. install your new thermostat and gasket and away you go!! richie

My 1998 century over heats

Check condition and operation of thermostat.
Check operation of radiator cooling fan when hot.
Check radiator coolant level. If low, then perform a cooling system pressure check to identify cause of leak.
Check coolant condition. If using water only, then corrosion may build up within system and cause blockages. If blocked, then flush system and refill with anti freeze-water mixture of 50/50.

1999 buick century, location of the freeze plugs on the heads. once the car warms up there is a coolant leak under the thermostat housing and i am not sure where the leak is.

freeze plugs are normally on the sides of the engines, check to see if hose connected to thermostat housing is not leaking, and also check to see if coolant is coming from the water pump.

My `95 Buick Century V-6 overheating. I found the problem to be a leaking freeze plug on the front head, behind the water pump. How can I get at this plug to replace it?

There are many radiator leak stop products that will seal the leak without having to replace the freeze plug. It is the poor mans repair.

My Century is running hot. The serpentine belt is working fine and there is anti-freeze in the reservoir. What else should I check?

Are your electric cooling fans cycling on and off? You could have a stuck thermostat, plugged up radiator.

I got a 1996 buick century with a 3:1 and its leaking anti freeze some were on the driver side of the motor and i dont no what it is to i can fix it. It didnt leak till it got warm out so i was thinking it...

If the antifreeze is leaking out behind the exhaust manifold then i would say you have a freeze plug leaking . The plug is located on the sides of the engine block. They can be a real job to get out and replace. If you see the leak in the location i described then i would take it to a repair shop for repairs. Have them to inspect all the freeze plugs for damage. Hope this will help you.

96 buick century leaking anti freeze from timeing cover

You will need to remove the timing cover and replace the gasket set. it is the timing cover gasket that is leaking and yes it is fairly common, once fixed it should not reoccur. It is not a horribly expensive repair, but mine on a 96 regal cost about $200 to have replaced. The decision is up to you as to whether it is worth it, based on your vehicles miles, and condition.
