3.1L V/6 ... On the drivers side under the throttle body is what's called the oil pump drive .. There is an o-ring seal on that oil pump drive that is more than likely where the oil is leaking/pouring out at .. It's a common problem. Google > 96 Buick Century oil pump drive .. You'll get the picture.. I sincerely hope you will have a knowledgeable mechanic check this out for you...

Thank you so much for your reply. I just don't know what to do and not sure if I should put more money in this car. I have worked all my life and was 5 years from retirement when giving my three special needs grandchildren to raise alone. Whew! Can't afford a good mechanic but I greatly appreciate ur response and taking time out of your day to respond. Have a great day!
