Major coolant leak on PT Cruis, By simply looking at it, a mechanic told me the coolant leak is from the water pump. I have doubts. How can I know for sure. Are there any photos I can see of a water pump & or timing belt & where they are situated on a 2003 Pt Cruis (2.4L turbo). Please help, Thanks

You may sneak it out with small fingers with out pulling out the starter.

If starter removal is required,Just unhook the battery cables,Remove the 2 bolts holding the starter on.

Read the under hood specs. this coolant can be purchased at the dealer. But, it is orange in color. Not your regular coolant and it is a little more exspensive. Change your thermestat while you are at it.........runjoe

It's a pain to get out I just did mine belt and water pump it took about 3 times as long as I thought.
Make sure all the bolts are loose, make sure you have removed the tranmission mount as it gives you more room to move the engine. It's suggest you take the exhaust off as well as you can damage it if you jack the engine up too high. Lossen the bolts on the motor mount across from that plate, you will not be able to remove the motor mount but you can spin it allowing you to get that big plate out.

If you look at the front of the headlight, there are actually a couple of screws around the edge. These are your adjustment screws.
