Please help with 95 Riv SC coolant leak

[6spd]

There are 2 black metal coolant lines under the alternator that I assume go to the heater core. I took the alternator off and the bottom one looks like it is leaking a ton of coolant! I can't see the leak itself though. Can anyone tell me what these lines are? and where I can get them? Or point me in the right direction of the correct place to look for parts like this. GM does not make them anymore. I've been looking for hours now.
Thanks in advance for any help!

are refering to the plastic elbows? they sell them in the help section at the parts store...2 in a box, specially for GM 3800s. they usually break off clean. you'll have to get a screwdriver and pry the pieces stuck in there out....

Wow thanks for the pic! It is unfortunately not that. They are black metal lines that are sealed with an O ring as well but look much different than 90 degree angles. Is there anywhere on the web with 3.8 SC engine diagrams?

Thanks for your help!!!!

I had a leak on my 95 and it was under the altenator, it was a plastic fitting that the coolant hose slide on to. The replacement is metal. It was a bitch to get it out of the intake with out breaking. I used a hack saw blade to cut it into three and popped it out. It sounds like the samt thing you will have to do.

that is for the non supercharged engines. he has 2 pipes that go into the waterpump through the belt tentioner to the engine block the pipes usually leak where the o rings are and need to be replaced it is a pita to do as most of the accessories has to come off to fix the coolant leak.

Exactly. I need to find those pipes...that is the real PITA
