    I have a 97 gtp when I got to work this morning steam was rolling from under hood. I can see coolant sprayed on back passenger side of engine but I can't see it leaking. Any suggestions? it also got all the way up on engine cover and strut tower please help.

    Sounds like either a heater hose let loose or maybe a coolant elbow.

    I don't have the part # handy, but in the "HELP" section at Autozone or OReillys you should be able to find a blister pack with both coolant elbows in them. They are GM specific.

    That sucks. Seems Oreillys lists it separate.
