you did figure out that it's the blower motor resistor, correct? Hate to see you replace the wrong part.

I think the red will work fine for this. I have a mark just like that on the bottom side of my bumper. The asphalt was kinda sunk in under the tires and when the car rolled forward into park it scrapped.

Yessir!
I'm going to get the ac controls from the junk yard first and try that, I can get it really cheap anyways then I'll buy the resistor if that's not the case

There is a paper gasket for the T-stat housing. You might have to look up a different year 3800, but it does exist. My dad had one on his '98 Grand Prix and one of the gasket kits (not sure if it's LIM or UIM) had both the paper gasket AND the rubber ring style.

Yup there is because I got this T-stat housing from a riviera, which is the one I tried polishing lol and it still had some of the gasket stuck on it :p
It's not leaking anymore though so its all good for now
