AboutRoland Finston Expertise I take questions about domestic Chrysler-product front wheel drive cars and minivans for the years 1982-2000 based upon my experience and shop manuals. I don't have detailed information (e.g. manuals) nor expertise for Jeeps, trucks, SUV's, import vehicles, or for years more recent than 2000 (except Sebring/Stratus I have '03).
I am available to take a question between 8AM CT and 9PM CT, and attempt to provide an answer within 1 hour. If I am shown as "maxed out" try again later in the day as I add question opportunities one at a time so as to respond quickly, but I do have other responsibilities as well so may not be available for several hours at times. Try at 7PM CT as I will always be available for one question then.
There are answers to hundreds of Chrysler questions at your finger tips: click on "view past answers", one of which may be to your question as well; or put a few key words in the "search for" box, above.
Experience I have been a do-it-yourself auto hobbyist for 5 decades, and most recently have been concentrating on the various Chrysler Corporation domestic front wheel drive cars and vans. I have shop manuals and wiring diagrams for many models for the years '83-'00, as well as rear wheel drive cars for the early 80's. I enjoy analyzing problems that other Chrysler enthusiasts are having and sharing my information.

Expert: Roland Finston Date: 7/2/2008 Subject: caravan 3.0l water pipe
Question Roland, You had a question from a guy with a 95 caravan 3.0l, where the water pipe crossover tube that goes into the water pump, but also has another tube going off of it,
was leaking and he was wondering if he could pull it off from the opposite side where the bracket holding the tube is. we have the same problem, but can't tell if there is enough clearance for the secondary tube.
Answer Hi Greg,
I am not absolutely certain but I believe that you may not have cleanrance sufficient to remove it. I believe that you may need to remove the intake manifold to do so. I assume that you are trying to replace the o-ring seal between the pipe and the waterpump. I will inquire at the Yahoo group called thechryslerlebaronclub to see what others have found to be the case and let you know if I am incorrect.
Roland
