Water Pump May Fail Prematurely on Buick Park Avenue

Problem overview

The water pump may develop a engine coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.

The leak may come from the "weep hole" in the water pump, which is designed to show when the water pump is failing and requires service.

Another source of the leak could be a failed water pump gasket, but in either case, replacement of the water pump will likely be the correction.
