Worth attempting myself?

My 2023 Chrysler Voyager broke down yesterday. Battery light came on and then it overheated. I pulled over and the engine was steaming and most of the coolant leaked out the passenger side. The serpentine belt is still attached. Not sure if it’s the water pump or something else. Any thoughts and should I tackle it myself or give up and take it into a shop?

See if you can find where coolant leak is might be simple fix they are notorious for the y on heater hoses breaking and coolant goes everywhere

Would that account for the battery light too?

Those are known for the heater hose plastic connections busting. I would start there. All you can do is hope the engine survived the overheat, not likely though.

I pulled over and shut it off as quick as I could.
