The timing belt and head gasket are two different things. To replace the head gasket you will have to remove the head necessitating removing the timing belt. If you are going to replace your head gasket it is best to put a new timing belt, a timing belt tensioner and possibly a new water pump. BMW recommends changing the timing belt every 60K miles and the water pump every 120K miles. The belts and pumps are not that expensive and it beats having to go back in and replace them later. Note that on the M3's there is a timing chain rather than a belt.

If you have timing chain it means that your water pump is connected to one of the belts. So the answer is no. But make sure that you have timing chain. Because if you have timing belt then the water pump is connected to the timing belt. And the latter one has to removed if you want to change the pump.

Why are you leaking antifreeze from a timing belt gasket in a 1997 Buick skylark?

Leaking antifreeze from a timing belt gasket in a 1997 Buick Skylark could be due to a worn or damaged gasket that has failed to maintain a proper seal. Over time, heat and exposure to coolant can degrade the gasket material, leading to leaks. Additionally, if the timing belt is improperly installed or if there is excessive pressure in the cooling system, it can exacerbate the leak. It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent engine overheating and potential damage.
