A small black elbow tube located right side engine above the water pump and forward of the alternator on this engine has developed a large coolant leak where the elbow tube enters into the casting.
Need to identify this elbow part and how to go about repairing the coolant leak. I have .pdf pictures of the part if this will help with identification.
This is a common issue with the 3.8L engines. The black elbow can be described as such at any local parts house to acquire a replacement part. The tube has o-rings on both ends and you need but to only remove and replace it. The new elbow will come with new o-rings on it.
Of course drain the cooling system when cool before removing it. If you need step by step procedures, follow the auto repair manuals link to your left.
