Chrysler Sebring Coolant Outlet Leaks

[@richborzea4589]

nice!!! teflon tape rules!!

[@Kevin-jw1oj]

Thanks for showing me where that was located and how to get it out

[@345Taij]

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring convertible and it runs great just after a while u have it started will smoke l a little bit like clear smoke almost if that makes since and then u smell like antifreeze and stuff and then the temp gauge won’t move it stays the same like at below mid level 🤷🏾‍♂️idk what issue could be

[@jesseespino6445]

Please let me know if you find anything. I have the same problem.

[@gobears2183]

Appreciate the video; I've changed this about 6 or 7 times using various after market products and it's bad again... gonna try the mopar part this time and hope it works better!

[@rolandoquinonez4644]

GoBears 21, I've changed about four of those, and even got one from the dealer but they always separate and leak profusely, to the point you can no longer hold coolant. one time the top half of the housing completely popped off. Anybody have any ideas why this keeps happening?

[@Cubanogar]

I have 2015 Chrysler 200C 3.6L V6. I been smelling coolant many times especially in traffic, temp gauge fluctuates between 212-237 degrees. Its been to the dealer 3 times for this. They replaced radiator, thermostats and its housing, upper and lower hoses. And they run a pressure test and everything paased. I still smell especially when I open here up.

A 2010 Sebring convertible with a 2.7 leaking in the middle back wall. Can’t see were. Any help is greatly appreciated

[@debbiebailey1637]

Do you have to remove the manifold to get chrysler sebring 2004 coolant air bleeder off to replace part?

[@hey_itzz_denny7985]

Bump, I’m trying to replace mine but I can’t get to that last bolt

[@melvinbutts3358]

Car is over heating , and the coolent bubbling in the fill bottle . How can i fix the problem ?

[@Desertcarcare]

Melvin Butts ~ a multitude of possibilities ~call me at the Garage.

[@wendykalman3661]

Replace with decent car . Try Toyota.

[@lisasandoval630]

How to tell if it's my head or the water pump?

[@giogarcia4002]

What do you call that part? Coolant tower?

[@yepme6484]

The coolant is overflowing and leaving the primary tank empty and what coolant do I refill, this is a brown collar, I tried to Google the type of coolant I different types in my garage. Also the trip meter zeroed out on her while she was driving

[@matthewawentworth2383]

I just did this exact thing yesterday it was about fifty minutes after ripping the hole top of the intake manifold off and putting back together but it blew out the side instead of the top screw

[@Desertcarcare]

Matthew Smith ...for sure. That plenum pull is a bit more time..thanks for stopping by ~Frank

[@rasse2001]

Mine also squirts from the side, how did you solve it? Complete new part?

[@Ashleynicole9622]

My coolant tower has blown in half before😂 got that replaced and now, 9 months later, coolant leaks from the top. Not out of the bleeder tho. I’m not sure what I should do

[@Desertcarcare]

Taylor Robertson ~~they can be problematic. Make sure using MOPAR ~~call me at the garage anytime if your stuck ~Frank

[@traviesayo69]

Hello my question I changed the thermostat and the housing but it still leaks around the housing the mechanic said it might be my engine block would that be true

[@Desertcarcare]

blanca salvador ~ not often an issue ~ double check the thermostat housing surface and ensure it is clean and has a good surface to mate to

[@avenlouis1486]

is it ok that i only drained some of fluid? theres still some showing towards bottom of overflow tank...

[@Desertcarcare]

Aven Louis do your best here ~ older aged overflow tank should be flushed and cleaned out ~ especially if oxidized etc ~ good luck here !

[@avenlouis1486]

thanks for prompt reply. so i guess. i replaced outlet already. so if i drain out overflow tank, then theres no need to drain radiator?

[@Desertcarcare]

Aven Louis ~ depending on age of coolant ~ best to service the complete system if you can .

[@slimdarealest7739]

What’s Dat part called again

[@elneo7721]

mine leaking and antifreeze has like little pieces of trash in it

[@leeisenberg]

What about water pumps on these engines? Is it even worth it? thanks

[@Desertcarcare]

lee isenberg ~great question ~ all in your options . Buy another used vehicle or invest in what you have. Look at the big picture & do the math. Hope this helps ~ thanks for stopping by.

[@spycfaib]

i just replaced mine, it was the biggest pain in the ass ever. if you can avoid it, it would be a good idea.

[@leeisenberg]

@@spycfaib I hear ya', that's exactly what I did. Watched several videos how to do & said Mercy, NO way, forget it. Got a 2006 VW Jetta 1.9L tdi turbo diesel, 217,000 miles & still going strong. - take care man

[@juventinohernandez3170]

I have the same exact Sebring convertible its giving me so much trouble

[@Desertcarcare]

Juventino Hernandez ..check those cooling fans as well !

[@wisheduknew294]

I wished you were here to help me with mine. I have a 2003 just like the one you’re showing their. The radiator and the thermostat are fairly new, there is a leak somewhere when the engine gets hot it seems to all come out of the overflow tank onto the ground. What’s funny is it takes quite a a while for the temperature gage inside the car to start registering. You can run it for 20 minutes and it still showing that it’s cold then it will suddenly get hot. I’m wondering do you think it could be the head gasket or maybe the water pump? Someone looked at it and said it look like the water pump is leaking but we don’t know for sure. This car is worth about $1000 and it would cost about $1000 to fix that sell, LOL any quick fix advice?

[@Desertcarcare]

Shane Jones ~ Make sure ya do a block test ~ ensure that you don’t have a cylinder head gasket issue ~ otherwise ~ well it and just disclose to the new buyer the conditions and wash your hands with it and move on. Always available at the garage if ever have any questions ~ thanks for stopping by & check is out over at our WrenchNation Show ~ www.wrenchnation.tv/

[@tabernacleofchrist1073]

Desert Car Care I got the same problem as shane. There are tiny drops from the coolant I believe. And the coolant’s antifreeze/ water just goes somewhere. Coolant’s lost and I don’t know where to find it. I would love to bring my car to your shop, but I’m from Los Angeles... what do you think is the best thing to do?

[@nickilema1074]

I have san problem did you guys find solutions?

[@rusco321]

How did you get to the one bolt under the intake?

[@Desertcarcare]

1/4 inch swivel socket. A tight squeeze. Give us a call & we can walk you through it over the phone if need be !

[@juventinohernandez3170]

swivel socket

[@jaebravomazz7290]

Mine seems to have a leak right there and also squealing noises to sounds like I have a bunch chipmunks when it runs lol... is that also what happens from the leak?

[@Desertcarcare]

jonny mazariegos can’t say we have experienced that before ?

[@jaebravomazz7290]

My 2006 2.7 Chrysler Sebring Died On Me, Attempted To Start It Back Up It Sputtered Didn't Start. Then It Started Got Me A Quater Mile Then Died And Completely Spilled Fluid All over The Road. What Would This Be? It Lost All Power.. I'd Crank It, It'd Sputter But Like I Said It Was Completely Dead... Fluids All Over The Road. No Signs Of Over Heating Nor Any Smoke

[@waverly9648]

HOW DID YOU GET THE COOLANT HOUDEING OUT WITH OUT LIFTING THE MANIFOLD UP? THAT'S THE PROBLEM I'M HAVEING. THE SCREW UNDER THE MANIFOLD? PLEASE WRITE BACK

[@whathappenswhen4767]

i found out that you have to unscrew the manifold off. It has 7 screwes on the top. once you do, you lift it about an inch and you can reach the final bolt for the water outlet.

[@waverly9648]

@@whathappenswhen4767 I have a 2002 Chrysler sebring 4 door sedan. and I took out all the screws in the upper manifold but still couldn't move it at all. now it is the erg bar that stuck in the manifold and I guess that just won't come out at all either. this car is driving me to drink!!!:)

[@whathappenswhen4767]

on the right side of the manifold there is like a small square black "cap". you have to take that one off in order to reach the last screw for the manifold.

[@waverly9648]

@@whathappenswhen4767 I did that already and the manifold still would not come up. there is a cooper bar in the manifold that won't come out. again my car is a 2002 Chrysler sebring 4 door sedan 2.7 liter 24 valve. and I can't find a vid on youtube that show's how to get that cooper bar out. because when every thing is un-screwed and I try to lift. the cooper bar wont allow it to move.(and I did un-screw the screws on the bar but it would not budge.

[@hammertime4257]

STAR A.K.A TROY TORRAIN read the comment from 2 years ago. He answered that. You don’t have to take the manifold off

[@Desertcarcare]

Thanks for stopping by !

[@drxse3350]

This Vid was “What to” not “how to”

[@M3231-s3v]

mine leaks from the bottom. the oil pan is wet with coolant but I cannot see where its leaking from the top.

[@Desertcarcare]

Martial 3231 ..pressure wash clean & isolate. Use a pressure tester to help source the leak.

[@M3231-s3v]

hi thanks. I pulled the overflow tube off the resevoir and pushed the air hose up to the hole. I can hear something but cannot see it. Sound seems to be coming from the top in from the plastic tree but I see nothing wet in that area. Seems to be coolant down the side of the motor inside the serpentine belt against the block. You don't think it could be a gasket in the motor could it?

[@M3231-s3v]

So apparently it's the same problem as we had before. In 2014 and 211,000klms, we had to replace the water pump at a cost of 1,380.00. Today we're looking at replacing that water pump AGAIN at just 245,000klms. So the last waterpump only made it 34,000k? and the cost est is $1,200.00! After putting a new plastic tree on top, and replacing the thermostat housing, they pressure tested and coolant still leaking, coming from the coolant overflow trough. They told me it leaks from there to tell you that the water pump is about to fail. This is suposedly a failsafe, because otherwise, coolant would get into the oil and the car would seize.

[@Desertcarcare]

Martial 3231 ..wow. You'd think more mileage out of that pump. Definitely a challenge there. Before you drop large coin ~again.. 1) Make absolute certain the cylinder head has not sustained damage from heat. A Cyl Block Test to ensure you don't replace water pump ~~to thereafter hear news about more $$$$. 2) MOPAR Chrysler parts if you can. We have experienced warranty work with failures otherwise. 3) READ warranty. Not always, but most reputable garages are starting to go 3yr/36k Parts & Labor Warranty . Wish you well here! Always here if ya need help~Frank
