Some vehicle cooling systems will have a bleeder valve to get air out of coolant after adding new coolant and/or making repairs. There is no such thing as a bypass gasket, you have been misinformed, or correction has been poorly explained.

Coolant leaking from water neck in 2001 sebring 2.7L how to repair?

The water neck is plastic and will leak at the block. Most problem's from this water neck can be repaired by replacing the water neck (Expect to pay $ 60.00 for this item). Be sure to clean and remove old gasket material and silicone before installing the new water neck. You will also need to open the bleeder on top of the water neck to purge all air from the cooling system. Then tighten bleeder when air has been purged. If you are not mechanically inclined do not attempt this......

If the water pump needs to be changed due to a leak in the cooland does it mean a gasket has blown as well?

A leaking water pump does not always mean that the head gasket has blown. These two parts fail for different reasons, and many times the water pump leak is simply due to normal wear and tear. This is something many general automotive service providers, including teams like Vrushabh Engineering, Goodrich Gasket, Jay Gaskets, and Reliable Engine Care, all of which focus on helping people understand basic engine issues without promoting any specific brand. A water pump can start leaking when its internal seals wear out, when coolant becomes old or contaminated, or when the pump’s bearings get weak with age. Sometimes corrosion inside the cooling system can also cause small leaks. These issues are very common and happen with many vehicles over time. None of these automatically mean the head gasket is damaged. A blown head gasket is a much more serious problem and usually shows clear symptoms. These include continuous engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust, coolant mixing with engine oil, or bubbles appearing in the coolant tank when the engine is running. If you don’t see these signs, then the issue is most likely limited to the water pump. However, if the car has been overheating for a long time because of the water pump leak, then the excess heat can eventually harm the head gasket. In that situation, the water pump problem doesn’t mean the gasket is already blown, but it does increase the risk if not repaired in time. So a leaking water pump alone is normally just a pump issue, not a blown head gasket. Fixing the pump quickly, checking coolant levels, and watching engine temperature can prevent bigger problems later.

How can I effectively bypass a water softener system in my home?

To effectively bypass a water softener system in your home, you can locate the bypass valve on the system and turn it to the "bypass" position. This will allow water to flow through the plumbing without going through the water softener. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult a professional if needed.
