    It's leaking at the elbow on the front of the engine by the lim. Can I just replace the elbow or what all do I need?

    Yes you can. Most parts stores sell the Dorman 47065 coolant elbows together. Napa has their own part number for it. and if you take off teh alternator and tensioner/bracket the two elbows are easily replaced.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Ok guys need some fast help! Took the car down to get the elbows changed tonight and they are both broke. As soon as I took the las bolt out of the alt bracket it fell down and there's still pieces left in the holes. I got the o-rings out but now how do I get the other half of the plastic out in that little space?!
