(88 N/A GTU)Alright, awhile ago i switched my alternator belt with a new one cause the old one was looking quite aged i kept having to tighten the belt because it was squeeling, i reached the end of the adjusment bar, so i bought a slightly shorter one, installed it to what i thought was tight, it started squeeling again by the next day, so i tightened it a bit more, and since then the cooling fan has been speeding up with the RPMs and going extremely fast (and loud) and will slow down with the RPMs also. Now i parked at work in the parking ramp, which has the car leaning to the left with the down hill of the ramp, and there was coolant leaking out of the very center towards the back of the engine area, but when parking on a flat surface it doesnt do that. So i backed the belt off to the point where its squeeling again, but the fan is still speeding up/slowing down with the engine.

What's going on!? I'm so puzzled!

thanks!
