I have a 2007 GP not SCharged,Coolant leak thought to be the water pump by my buddies who like to see me spend time and money,I installed with a top shelf gasket and gasket sealer,The leak is in the base not the pump.Did the elbows they are good,I will see if my photobucket pic works.Let me no if its the timing chain cover gasket,
thanks guys and gals been catching great tips the last 2 years.

More than likely it's the timing cover gasket/front cover gasket if the leak is still present there.
A much bigger job to do but not too extreme.

looks to be coming form the cover. time to dive into that fun. worst part is taking the balancer off. if you have air tools its a breeze.

Scotty talked me through an 07 timing cover gasket replacement a couple of months ago. Can't find the thread, but wasn't too bad. Use a fel-pro gasket. Got in there deep.

Scotty's good about talking people into saving money and doing jobs on your own. He and BillBoost talked me into roofing my own home. While it did save me a lot of cash I don't plan on taking that on ever again.
Aren't those power steering pumps a real mother fvcker to put the bolts back on? Turn pulley, put bolt through pulley, hold your tounge just right, ooops not good enough... Try again.
I'm glad I don't own a Firebird or Trans-AM I hear just changing the plugs on them you almost have to drop the motor.

PS is easy Ryan.
Extension and a flashlight make it easy when the alternator isn't on there. I usually do the PS pumps so Brian didn't lose his mind.
Except on your car.

Wish me luck guys.I'm diving in after work Friday.

http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...a-crank-sensor the right size bolts are listed here, the rental pullers done give you the right size.
and you want a puller like this. if the drive bolt has a foot on it, rip it off, if you can get one that will fit down inside the threads in the crank thats best really.

I ended up having to use a small bolt as a spacer to make the puller I had work. The main bolt was not long enough. Supercharger balancer also.

I can understand why Brian would lose his mind. Those things are bastards.Originally Posted by blueguy

After looking at the pic by the OP I really hope that is not where my current car is leaking. I'm going to do the LIM this weekend and hope for the best. My car seems like it's pissing itself in the parking garage.

Its probably just coolant elbows

Well the top one on the LIM isn't the leaker. I'll look at the bottom one.

The bucket leaked from the top one.

Update..It was timing cover gasket.It took all weekend and advice from five finger and Scotty.Thank you so much for helping a guy who knew so little.The feeling I got letting car sit last night than adding fluids this morning with no leaks and heat again was great.
