Purchase the correct size filter and make sure is is a premium filter such as AC/Delco, Purolator, Wix, or Bosch. Remove the old filter and throw it away. Clean the mounting surface and look at is closely for any scratches or gouges. If it is clean and not damaged, apply a thin layer of oil to the gasket on the new filter or it can leak. Turn the new filter 3/4 turn after making contact with the mounting surface. No more than 3/4 turn or it can leak. You will not have a leak if you do this.

How do you fix a power steering leak on a 3.4 L 6-cylinder Chevy Impala?

Depends on how severe the leak is. If it is a bad leak at the pump, then you more than likely need to replace the pump. If it is leaking severely at a hose, the hose needs replacing. If it is a very minor leak, you can try a PS stop leak, such as Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak. This may or may not stop the leak.

Can you put a stop leak in coolant to fix a leaky heater core in a 2000 blazer?

Yes you can but that is a temporary fix. Some stop leak brands do more damage than good by plugging up everything else like the radiator for example. I recommend "Barr's" brand stop leak if you are going to use one.

There is a leak on the passenger side of a 2000 Chevy impala but only when it is washed or it rains extremely heavy?

Just repaired one with the same problem. The 2000 Impala has a cabin filter and just to the right of the cabin filter is a drain hole. This may be stopped up and allowing water to enter by way of the filter. Raise the hood, turn on the ignition and then the wipers and stop them in the up position by turning off the ignition. Now if you look at the large black plastic covering the area just below the windshield, you will notice is is made of 2 pieces. Remove the piece on the passenger side. The 2 small clips just pull off and the large one screws off. Be careful with the windshield washer line. Once you have this removed, then remove the filter and see if it is wet. If so this is where the water is entering the passenger compartment. To the right of the filter you will see a large drain hole. Pour a little water in this drain and you should see it flow quickly out under the car. If not the drain is clogged and needs to be cleaned out. Good luck.
