For about a week I have been receiving  Check Coolant messages. After noting excessive coolant on the garage floor I replaced the coolant. After turning on the ignition loud intermittent squeeky sounds have appeared. Mininmal  coolant is dripping on the floor. The Check Coolant message is not coming on but I have only driven around the block. Is the noise relkated to the coolant problem?

Sounds like you have a coolant leak that needs to be evaluated. The squeak may be coolant dripping on the belts resulting in belt slippage & squeaking. Have somebody check this out before the car overheats!

Grab hold of your fan and wiggle it,if its wobbly closest to the housing,your waterpump is croaking.I just went thru the same thing.

The water is dripping on the belts and coming from under the waterpump pulley where u cant even see it drip until it gets atrocious.
