(side note, i do not have the tools or equipment to do the some of the work, but do know a mechanic that teaches engine repair to high school students at a fairly local school, i buy the parts, they learn how to fix. (free labor) )
recently had T-Stat replaced, had coolant leak, antifreeze on floor, mainly on the drivers side. (kids didn't replace and tighten hose correctly.) got that corrected, went thru car wash with under body spray to clean off residual antifreeze from repair.
now have maybe a TBS of antifreeze on floor( center front of engine) and when i shut engine off, hear a high pitch squeal for 1-1/2 to 2 secs. as the engine winds down. have noticed squeal when it is humid or wet out, while engine is running, chalked that up to high humidity. maybe the water pump has been going for a while? replies and thoughts appreciated.
