Re: Coolant Leak
If you haven't done it before, the PT has two drive belts called the Serpentine and alternator belts. These don't HAVE to be replaced at the same time if your short on cash but they will wear out sooner or later and strand you on the road when they do.
Before you go too far, make sure of the leak. Your best guess could be wrong. You have the radiator cap and both upper and lower radiator hoses that could be leaking. You have the in and out heater hoses also. You could also have picked up a stone or sharp object that punctured the radiator itself.
If it's one of the places I've mentioned, you can go for another 25,000 miles before the timing belt and other things need to be changed.
