anti-freeze leak
hi everyone, i firebird is overheating because it has a big anti-freeze leak. It's right above the water pump. My engine is a V6 3800. Can someone tell me what the part is called and how much it would cost to get it fixed? thank you so much.

Re: anti-freeze leak
above the water pump..
is it where the hose from the radiator connects to the engine? thats the thermostat housing. my dad broke my thermostat housing..with a bunch of "quiksteel" and some metal epoxy i glued that fcker shut. turns out that it works real well except i wont be able to open it up again... changing the gasket for you should work.

it was a little plastic elbow pipe piece that the dealer sold to me for $10. but now when i put the anti-freeze, it still leaks but not from that place. So, i have anthor leak somewhere. i looked n the only thing i can find is that it is dripping from the oil filter (not from the inside of the oil filter). Anyone have any idea where my other leak may be?

Re: anti-freeze leak
"little plastic elbow thing" does that sound bad to you guys or what? is it a 4th gen v6 thing? i thought plastic = big nono for cooling system. specially since they shrink..last time i remember my dad tried to make an adapter out of PVC the thing shrunk to 1/3rd of its size...
