Engine Mechanical problem
1996 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive

the water pump was leaking and when we went to replace the water pump the bottom bolt was broken off, we tried to drill out the bolt with no success, I need to know what the name of the cover ( or the back side of the cover) that the water pump bolts to is. The motor is a 3.5 L overhead cam V6, also any other info you think I may need.

The water pump mounts to the engine front cover and engine block. I would try using a heli-coil thread repair. You can drill it slightly bigger, install an insert and use a larger or if your lucky the same size bolt.
