It has been a few months since my 02 6cyl vue has had and issues. But now there are a few more. Any help is always appreciated since you guys are awesome!

1st off I seem to be leaking coolant. Its odd... right when I fill the resevior it leaks out in 3 spots (Please dont be a crack)

2nd. When I am in warm/ hot weather or driving for over and hour my car begins to whistle. It is a high pitched squeel that doesnt stop even if I am idling.

3rd Than damn fan. its back again it runs when its should not be

I am pushing 100k and I know its about time to do some preventative maintance. I called Saturn and for a tune-up which replaces spark plugs and timing belt, s-belt and t-stat its $1800+ :cry: I have done the t-stat and s-belt so that doesnt need to be done again. Also I have replaced the CPS. HELP! What is a fair price to get my spark plugs and t-belt replaced (since I will never attempt removing all that stuff again)

All of these problems could be related. Pull off when the car is whistling and open it up and carefully find out where the noise is coming from. The fan can come on any time it wants to. It's electronically controlled. If the temp is greater than a certain temp it runs, possibly engine on or not.
