I was told that it's antifreeze...Not sure...Which belt most likely needs replaced and generally how much could repair cost? It's not affecting how the car starts or drives...Is it the timing belt? Belt tensioner? Something else?

Don't know of any belt that could be related but any fluids leaking into the would most likely be the heater core, or condensation from the A/C.

Leaking into the car? If inside the passenger compartment, it is most likely the heater core, which is found underneath the dash. Now if you are leaking outside the car, then perhaps a hose is bad, or it might be as serious as a cracked head. I would inspect the hoses, and the water pump. With your comment of fluid inside the car, and it being antifreeze, I would suggest making sure of where the leak is, and then go from there. As far as the belts go, there are simple guidelines to follow on replacing them. If the belts look shiny, or cracked, you may need to replace them. If chunks are missing from the belts, definately replace them. On the belt tensioner, if your car has 75,000 miles or more, I would suggest replacing the tensioner as it will help extend the life the of the belts. Good luck in finding the location of the leak.

if fluid is leaking into the car, that is not a belt, but a hose. Could be the heater. Get it to a repair shop right away.

there's a transmission cooling line that is going contained in direction of the backside (or area) of the radiator of maximum automobiles with computerized transmissions. some have transmission coolers related to the radiator. sounds like there might nicely be a unfastened connection at a type of fittings. in the journey that your transmission gets too low on fluid, the vehicle will end shifting and that relies upon on how briskly that is leaking. carry an extra quart of transmission fluid basically in case it gets that low.

there is no way a belt could make the interior wet. your heater core is probably leaking
