All of a sudden while I was driving, the alarm and the overheat lights on. I added some coolant, but the coolant kept leaking out on my garage floor. I turned on the heat while driving but it wouldn't get hot as usual. Thanks in advance for any help!

Where is it leaking from? Can you tell?

Certainly at this point, if you haven't replaced the radiator and heater hoses, I'd be looking there first. With the 4 banger, everything is so out in the open that your problem should be fairly obvious unless it is a head gasket.

I checked the coolant leaking from underneath the caravan, but couldn't see the leaking location since it's behind the oil bin (where I used to let out dirty oil when changing oil.) The coolant was just running from one side of the bin down and dropping from a corner of the bin.
In the meanwhile, my car heater wouldn't turn on - only cold air came out when I left the heat on as an emergency engine overheat treatment, which, by the way, was working since the Overheat Lights turned off.
I checked the Caravan Manual, found that this could be a bad Water Pump. How hard it is to change it?
