I have a 1996 firebird 3.8. There is a coolant leak around the timing belt cover. Is this going to be a big job to fix it? Would a stop leak product work instead of trying to replace the gasket? Would appreciate any input, thanks

Check to see if it is from a leaking hose or the water pump. Pressure check the cooling system, that would tell where the leak is.
