Was driving this weekend and noticed radiator fluid leaking from bypass hose, I drove probably one hundred miles keep water in it, it cranked fine, through the day once I arrived home I could hear a clicking noise coming from the belt region, I was wondering if radiator fluid got in behind the timing belt cover and left a film on the crankshaft sensor? But either way it wont crank.

Can you open the oil fill cap to see if the camshaft is turning, I think you lost a timing belt.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.
