Auto Parts: Coolant leak, plastic elbow, coolant leak
QuestionWhat is the rubber or plastic elbow that goes from the water pump to the head called and how do I remove and replace it on a 2005 Buick Lesabre 3.8 V6
Answer It's called a bypass hose, but I don't see one listed for this engine/car combination. There are definitely no hoses or tubes attached directly to the water pump, but I don't see any going to the front cover either. I would say this calls for a trip to the dealer and a look at his exploded-view diagram.
