You may have a blown head gasket thatis pressurizing the coolant system-pull radiator cap off and put a pressure gauge on it and see if pressure goes above 17.5lbs-cheers Denny

do not put water in your radiator. Use 50% mix of antifreeze and water or you will corrode your engine. Add coolant mix to cold engine. Fill the reservoir and the radiator. Warm up eninge while looking for the source of the leak. If lucky, it will be the lower radiator hose. Easy repair. If it's the engine block, big problem. Let us know what you find.

This is a very hard question to answer, It depends on where the leak is. If it's something like a hose that is leaking, then it should be an inexpensive fix. If the water pump is leaking and defective, it will cost a little more due to the cost of the part and the labor involved in replacing it. I priced the water pump for your car at autozone and they had one for $99.99 with a limited lifetime warranty and they had one for $55.99 with a one year warranty. That gives you an idea of the cost of a water pump. This is all speculation, however, until I know where the leak is coming from.
I would suggest that you shop around at other repair facilites to get the best deal on the repair. Studies have shown that maintenance costs rise when done by dealers versus independent repair facilities, so it might pay to shop around. Really sorry for your trouble and I hope this helped. If you can provide more detail on where the leak seems to be coming from it will help narrow down what you are looking at insofar as repair costs go. Best wishes.
SOURCE: how do you replace a coolant air bleeder on 2000 dodge intrepid
unscrew it out of the thermostat housing and screw a new one in. make sure cars not hot when you do this.
SOURCE: there was a leak in the coolant overflow tank of
it could be the thermostat but i lean more toward the water pump...if there is a mechanic real near by take it there. if not have it towed. so you dont overheat the engine..which could cause more costly problems....
SOURCE: i have a 2003 dodge durango that is leaking power string fluid
They do make power steering leak stopper although I have never had much success with it. I don't quite understand what you mean coolant lines for power steering because that I know of on your vehicle I don't believe there is a cooler for your power steering.
