Default Car won't start

Hey guys, just the other day my ES300 cut off on my while I was turning into my drive way. It is a 94 with 129,000 miles on it. I got it serviced for a small coolant leak about a month ago, but the fluid is all over my drive way. I tried to fill it back up but the antifreeze just falls to the floor, so I'm thinking the leak got bigger. But that wouldn't cause my car not to start would it? My boy told me that it might be my timing belt too? Any advice, please help this car is getting on my last good nerve.

If your son thinks its the timing belt then u must have not done a 100k mile service on it which is a must on any car.

i think most timing belt breaks happen on freeways for some reason. havent heard of someone turning into driveway and then the timing belt snapping. the coolant leak is bothersome though. so is your car just stuck in the semi-driveway?

Well, I managed to get the car into my driveway. So, it is ok for now. But, I'm just dreading that it is my timing belt.

So have you done a 100k mile service on it? Just wondering cuz it could be the motor mount, timing belt, or that coolant leak.

Nah, I haven't had the 100k service done yet. The only thing that was serviced was the cooling system. I'm dreading it but I think that this problem is going to hit me in the pockets big time.
