sprung another leak on the 99! this car hates me
 

So its leaking from the gasket that runs the whole right side of the engine on the 3.1, The big piece that the water pump bolts into at the top and seems to circulate water all over the dam place and it even goes behind the dam crank.

Anybody know what this is called so I can google search it or anybody know a link to a fix-it etc? I know the gasket is $15 and its about the only thing I didnt replace last time when I had to do the intake gaskets ones on this.

Is this another weekender like the LIM gaskets were or what?

You will need to remove the water pump, shouldn't be that hard, I'm sure a few bolts hold the pulley on and a few bolts hold the pump on, swap it out. Drain the coolant first, however.

its not the water pump, its the huge piece that it bolts to

That would be the lower intake

Second that.

When changing the LIM qgaskets again, get the FelPro aluminum ones. Best thing a 3100/3400/3800 can have for the LIM. Nylon is just JUNK, it can't handle the high fluid pressure and temp.

no, theres another piece thats on the side of the engine that the water pump goes to and wraps around down to the bottom of the engine, I cant remember the dam name
I just replaced the LIM gaskets with Felpro and with the problem solver kit. The water is leaking out of that part, right next to the lower engine mount, or so it looks like

I will have to post pics to show you I guess, Im trying ti right now
