Best Answer

well if its overheating doesnt mean its leaking

however if it is leaking look to see where its coming from check the side of the radiator ( left and right) check the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as the water pump which on a 2.2 liter is located on the lower back side behind the exhaust manifold on the 3.1 i believe its on the side

if no leaks u could have a bad or weak water pump, frozen therostat or damaged radiator

water pump thermostat and radiator on 3.1 your looking at maybe 8-900

water pump thermostat and radiator on 2.2 liter your looking at like 12-1300 because u need to do belt tensioner and timing chain on it plus mechanics hate this engine design very poor by Pontiac
