I know I don't own 3800 engine but where power steering is? I looked that picture of supercharger engine. I don't see anything. It might buried under engine or somewhere? Sorry about 3100 engine have one. Blame GM My dad's Pontiac G6 don't have tranmission dipstick. We are looking all over and read the book. It doesn't have one. How can we tell if it is low? :rolleyes:

damn no wonder... I haven't seen it but I bet it is hard to fill it up if engine block that way.
Oh really? I wonder why they stop use tranmisson dipstick? I think it is really help to know if it is low or not. I checked mine sometimes to make sure. Also brake, steering wheel, oil, coolant and you name it all to check everything if it is not low.

Also brake, steering wheel, oil, coolant and you name it all to check everything if it is not low. It's sealed. If it doesn't leakout it stays full. They have a fill port similar to that of a rearend on the tranny for if you have to open it up. Not very owner friendly.

lol thanks. I love both cars. I just want make it neat and cool looking Right side is cause by my hand work and steam cleaner. I was thinking maybe go car wash and use high pressure wash on right side only where no battery, fuse, and engine coolant (small hole if water go into) but I'm afraid it will hurt some engine parts? I didn't get chance clean left side becuase I went to my dad's apt today to wash/dry/wax his baby car. His good looking car I brought 2006 Pontiac G6 V6 for my girlfriend as gift when her car engine almost blow up. We have been together for 6 years. Now, we broke up. I'm one who dump her so I took this car away from her. Thank god, I'm not marry her. If we did then she will keep this car for sure like divorce stuff. Anyway, I have my summer car and G6. I was almost thinking use my grand prix as winter beater and use G6 as like GXP or something cool looking. I'm glad I give it to my dad so my gp look much better than GXP. I think I made right choice

The weather is getting good again. I clean my summer car in morning yesterday and some meeting/photoshoot so I don't have time for winter beater. There is link for cleaning my summer car yesterday and also photoshoot. http://www.grandprix.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=011094 So, I decide use high pressure water on left side. I cover all electronic thing. It was pretty good. This car is running normal after that. I keep pray.. please start... (engine starting) I keep say YES! I took left headlight, intake air box, and brace out for high pressure wash. It was little much improving. It could be easy job for me tomorrow (no work on Monday yay!) than I done right side by my hand work. last weekend today I decide hold that engine cleaning later. I'm going wash and polish the wheels. I only clean face of rims. I have like 1K miles left for tire rotation so I will clean inside other time for easy cleaning job. rear dirty vs. front clean dirty clean full car shot
