Most likely your heater core has gone bad.
The Oldsmobile AleroThe vehicle that replaced the Achieva was Oldsmobile Alero (produced from 1999-2004).
you need to replace your heater core.
The thermostat on a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva SL goes on the very bottom of the water pump. It is inside the top hose of the radiator on the end that attaches to the water pump.
is it hard to change the water pump on a 1992 Oldsmobile achieva. Yes, it is very hard to replace a water pump on an Achieva. When the pump died on my 1996 Achieva, the engine needed to be unbolted and removed to get to it. As I recall, it cost about $500. I have a 95 Olds Achieva 3.1 and the water pump was very easy to change. Mine is on the front passenger side of the engine. Very easy to get to, just be careful not to break any bolts off. lol
Are you sure it's water? Sounds like your heater coil may be leaking...
It sounds like you may have a bad heater coil. Next time you get a puddle, smell it... Chances are it is coolant and not water
2.3L quad 4 is located under the exhaust manifold passenger side. To replace you have to remove the exhaust manifold.
You must remove the exhaust manifold it's easy to do once this is done.also the front timing cover need to be removed because the water pump driven by the chain.
improper maintence and mostly poor design buy the new one from napa it will last twice that of rebuilt
Remove it with a wet/dry vac.
