Hello everyone,

so I was driving home the other night from work (30min) and once I was on my street I heard a screeching/buzzing sound, something like a belt rubbing. The more throttle I gave, the louder and faster the sound. I shut off the car and coasted to my house and found a stream of coolant drizzling off my oil pan and a line of coolant to where the sound began on the road. My guess is the water pump and I plan to strip it down tomorrow but would love some reassurance.

its hard to say what it is by describing but the GT water pumps are notorious for going somewhere between 150-200k, mine did and so have many others I've heard. Mine made a consistent rattling noise from the belts area.
