HI, new here.

Hi, I am new here and have a few questions. I drive a 2002 Grand Prix GT. I has 100K on it and was going fine until this weekend. I stop at home and saw white smoke under the hood. I check for a bad water pump or broken hoses and found none. So I start to check for a blown head gasket. I removed the top intake and started on the Lower part when I see a little 90 deg hose that goes from the block to the heater hose block. It was creak and leak. My question is if the hose is replacable or do I have to buy the whole part.

does the elbow go from the LIM to the just below the alternator?? if so it is just a coolant elbow and can be found at any parts store. they r only like $6

[white2002gt]

yes that is it. Thanks a lot.

[BoostnBlackGTP]

no problem sir and while u r at it replace both of them

[BoostnBlackGTP]

one u can see by lookin at the engine it right in front of the alternator and the other is below the alternator. so just pop the alternator bracket off and put them both in than sldie the alt bracket back on them and ba your good to go

I will and I am going to replace the lower intake gasket as well. Are the intake bolts reuse or do I have to buy new ones.
