95 Sable Engine Rattle	Sign In

Here are few symptoms that started about 1 week ago after driving back down to school in my:
Mercury Sable
year : 1995
trans: auto
3.0 L

Constant rattling when at idle
random squeel when accelerating into a turn or from stop

My buddy told me I might have gotten some bad gas but i let it go low ran some fuel cleaner and gum out then filled with Premium and still no change.

I havn't had anything major done to that care since i got it when i was 16 (for 5 years)
So no plug replacement, no tune up nothing major.

Just standard new tires, breaks and such.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks all

and by the way

I'm new
From Indiana i go to Purdue, not a crazy car lover but i've done my fair share of working on mostly my brothers cars after he finds a way to drift off the road. Very good with cooling/heating systems and car electrical systems as well as audio.

Update:

Just noticed that there is antifreeze leaking rapidly around the belts, and so much that i think it's causing the slip rattle and squeel.

If it's the water pump how much will it leak?

And about how much would it cost to replace.

Waterpump looks like below and with the symptoms needs to be replaced NOW! How much? Part is $50 ish wholesale plus new hoses, antifreeze and misc for the job. I don't have a labor guide but the guess is this would be a chargable 3 hours of labor plus the parts used. Neglecting it will cost you the whole car. Just call and ask a shop of your choice how much they want for this job but do let them make the final diagnosis even though you are somewhat sure,
