Need belt diagram for 98 buick riviera supercharged
SOURCE: cracked drip pan on a 1996 3.8 Rivera Buick.
Hi! My name is Tom and I can help you.
By drip pan I am going to assume you mean oil pan. First you need to get your car on blocks or up in the air enough to reach the oil pan.
Remove the drain plug and drain the oil.(discard the oil). You will see a number of bolts securing the pan. Using the proper box wrench remove all the bolts.
You will see a gasket. This must be replaced. You can purchase the proper pan gasket by asking for a pan gasket at an auto parts store. While you are there ask for the proper sealant for the gasket.
Clean the pan and any oil on the surface where the gasket will touch. Place gasket sealer around the pan and seal the gasket to the pan cover. Replace the pan. Put the bolts back and fill with oil. Start the car and get it to operational temperature and check for leaks. You are now Good to go.
This is a fairly involved yet simple fix.

Contact your local NAPA auto parts store and ask if there is a by-pass pulley available for the AC on this model. If there is, you will be able to do it. If none available, you may have to replace the compressor
