Antifreeze leak on 2002 pt cruiser

Usually means the heater core is leaking.

it could be the heater core, a bad hose, or the radiator itself. You will need to have someone with auto mechanic knowledge to look at it, unless you can find the leak, and fix it yourself.

Sounds like a fuse. Find the fuse box when you visit Autozone and get the fuse replaced.

you need to eliminate one thing at a time and this is how . inspect the oil cap where you put oil into your car and make sure there is no white discolouration build up on the underside of the cap (if there is this can indicate water has mixed with the oil head-gasket leaking )the water pump can be checked after the car has been running for a few mins by feeling any rubber water hoses going to and from the radiator both should be about the same temp . The fan will come into play after the motor has reached a higher temp and can be seen spinning if not they are at fault .a inspection of the water reserve tank should prove to be clean and not contain any oily build up if so it might be contaminated by oil ( head gasket leaking ) you may need to flush the coolant system mainly the radiator by using a chemical wash to help unblock any build up .

Your heater core either is stop up or is leaking your best bet is to change it but let a mechanic change it. it will cost anywhere between 300 to 600 to get it changed

It sounds like it has a bad backfiring problem... It could be one of these things: Valve Adjustment Required, Bad Spark Plug Wires, Bad Spark Plugs, Bad Coil Packs, Or Clogged Injectors. I would Recommend a full tune-up and Run a bottle of fuel Injector cleaner through the system...

OK, anytime oil gets into the cooling system or vice versa, there's a strong possibility that there is a leak at the head gasket.

Could have to do with overspeeding the engine.

The cooling system can get up to 14 to 16 psi, enough to burst into the oil lines which run next to the cooling lines in the head and block.

If it's spilling on the front driver's side of the car, then you have some serious problems with this engine.

sounds like thermostat

through the tube is measured where the oil level

look at the exhaust... if it is white you are burning antifreeze. try that first and if it's a no we will explore it further.
