03 LeSabre coolant leak
03 with 3800 eng
I notice some coolant, a few drops, coming from the passenger side, somewhere in the area under the power steering pump.
I don't notice anything from the top area , manifold etc.. Haven't crawled underneath yet.
Any ideas on what it might be ?

What you probably have are the black plastic elbows, the guys want you to use the metal ones.......it is located on the passenger side, in the middle of the lower intake, just behind the belt, and it goes into the tensioner assembly.....
One other place to check is the weep hole of w/p.......
A good idea would be to rent a coolant pressure tester to find the leak.......if the leak is real small, dye and a black light...

If you are asking where these are, then I'm going to go out on a limb here and suspect that you have 0 experience working on engines. Therefore, I suggest you take this to a shop and have the repairs made. This isn't very easy to do.

Mike, for the amount of time it took you to say that,,, you could have told me where to look.
I've been working on eng. for a long time, just not this particular one and for this particular issue.
So to have someone point out where they are could save me time and crawling around looking for them.
