Ok heres the deal its my wifes car and it is a 96 2.2L...ok now for about 3 months there has been a slow leak that I havent been able to pinpoint other than it was dripping from around the front passenger side about where the alternator is at..i have replaced the thermostat and all was well for a few days but with coolant loss i think since it has been damaged again...but now the car is leaking like crazy and I think it is the waterpump except that I dont know much about waterpumps and on this car I dont know where it is located at..my question is is the waterpump located under the the alternator or in that area therefor it could be possible thats where the leak is at?....more on the leak itself though ...I was watching th eengine run today and at first there werent any leaks but then after a few minutes there was a lot of coolant spraying out on a small hole that was part of whtever is mounted under the alternator and it was getting all over the belts in the car to the point where they were actually stopping mid cycle..

which leads to other issues that have come up whch is the power steering acting funky randomly and the ABS and battery light in dash flashing...my thinking is that since the belts are not working right that it is causing these other issues to come up so if I can solve the coolant thing then maybe the other problems will go away to


sorry for the randomness of this post but im just trying to get all the info out there to get help
thanks
