1995 Geo Prism, not in good shape, 112k miles. Started hearing a low squealing from under the hood that gradually grew louder over a few blocks. It was different and new from any of the other typical noises that come from the car, so I turned to head back home, and just after I did so the battery light came on and my power steering went out, and then the squealing became a very loud high-pitched squeal. I parked the car briefly and turned it off. After a few minutes, I started the car again, the power steering was back but the very loud high-pitched squeal continued as I made my way home. When I got home later that day, there was a puddle of something under the car. We've since started the car to move it in the driveway, and it still starts and still squeals. Any ideas? It's not worth it for us to fix it, but we're having a salvage company come out tomorrow and I want to know if it's totally junked or just needs a belt replaced, to get an idea of its value. Thanks in advance!
