Facing engine, on right side . It will be attached to a radiator hose leading to the thermostat. To the left of the pump will be a small belt and tension pulley that drives it. You will need 10mm socket for housing removal and a special socket tool ( about 3" in diam. that can be rented or loaned through Auto Zone car stores. About an hour and a half working time. Good luck.

Just replaced my water pump. Got an estimate from a garage, 340 bucks? I bought the pump (new pump) 57.99 and I bought the special socket for 21.00. Took me less than an hour from start to finish. Amazingly simple water pump to change. The hose clamps are a bit strong and were the most difficult item to remove. Had to use a very large pair of channel locks to get them off.
You will need to drain the oil from your 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora oil pan. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts. Remove the oil pan gasket and clean the surface. Put the new gasket on and reverse the process.
Use a filter wrench to loosen then spin off with hand.Make sure you put fresh oil around the new filter gasket and make sure the old gasket is on the old filter.
The gasket on an Oldsmobile Bravada is changed by removing the retaining bolts, taking off the cover, and peeling the gasket off. The surface is then cleaned and a new gasket put in place.

What size engine? 3.1 or 3100? yes there is a difference. j1taylor@twcny.rr.com
You can just change fluid, filter and gasket
Any parts store can provide you with the correct gasket.
If you see white steam from exhaust pipe after warmed up you most likely have a head gasket problem.
It is either an intake gasket, or head gasket most likely...bring it in to a mechanic.
It is not possible to repair the actual head gasket. Repair of a blown head gasket is to replace the gasket.
