I noticed a squealing chattering sound on the way home from work tonight. When I got home I popped the hood and noticed small puddles of coolant in random spots. I am thinking water pump? I had coolant problems this summer and ended up replacing the radiator and hoses. I'm wondering if the issues I had at the time might be the root of this.
The chattering sounds were coming from that area and I think the squealing was from the coolant hitting the belt. I have Friday through Monday off work and planned on hunting all 4 days but I have to fix this as well and I don't want to spend a bunch of time and money screwing around chasing ghosts. If it's the pump I'll replace it and be done.
I should add that I didn't see any coolant leaking from anywhere, just laying in spots.
