To replace the water pump on a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser, begin by disconnecting the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant, then remove the drive belt and the timing belt cover to access the water pump. After removing the old pump, clean the mating surface, install the new pump with a new gasket, and reassemble everything by reversing the disassembly steps. Finally, refill the coolant and reconnect the battery.

Water pump gasket, head gasket, water tube,
more than likely it is the water pump gasket,it probably has a tear in it or just dry rotted from age and use or if it is leaking out of the water pump itself it is the seal inside the water pump itself if this is the case the water pump must be replaced if it is the gasket just replace the gasket ...
If you're referring to the water pump gasket, and, if you're changing a faulty water pump, a gasket should come with it and also needs to be changed (Use the grey Permatex gasket sealant on the new gasket). If you're referring to the head gasket - not necessarily.
if you have a leaking water pump gasket i thing bay a new one is better
