Engine Cooling problem
1999 Plymouth Voyager Two Wheel Drive Automatic 111000 miles

The outer rib of the main belt started to separate as I was driving (I heard the noise but couldn't figure out what it was because when the van was stopped the belt looked fine and had tension). When I got home, the belt popped off just as I pulled up to the house.

I've replaced the belt. when I started the car, it made a not-normal noise, kinda high pitched, squeeky. The coolant I had just replaced came pouring out of the bottom of the engine. Because of the plastic plates on the bottom of the engine and how crammed together stuff is, I can't figure out where it is leaking from. The coolant container is fine.

What's the best place to check for the leak?

HI there,

You will need to do a pressure test and check carefully with a torch, there are a lot of places the coolant can leak, take your time and you should see it.
