My engine has been overheating a lot lately. I think there is a leak in the water pump, but I also notice burnt oil smell coming from the sparkplug area and leaking oil. Not bad, but leaking. Have I blown a head gasket?[/quote:990cdbb0d9]

The over heating is most likely do to the leaking Water Pump. Would have Thermostat Changed also.

The burnt oil at spark plugs and leak most likely is caused by the valve cover gaskets. If was leaking from head gasket the oil wouldn't be around spark plugs.

Check the valve cover gasket for leaks. Clean engine and let run for a while then look to see if you can located oil leak.

i have a 1998 Buick regal and the serpentine belt keeps breaking what could be causing it to break? i had an tension put on but it is still doing the same thing.
