belt replacement?
Ive got some whistling goin on recently and figure its a belt but not sure which. With over 86k miles should i just replace both? Also, found
a small puddle under the engine. Fluid looked clear on my garage floor but when i wiped it up it looked slightly pink. Any ideas?? Checked the engine from top and from underneath, no wet spots or anything showing a leak. Thoughts please. Thanks,

I would replace both.
It could also be one of the belt tensioner pulleys going or the AC clutch.
If you search archives there are a few posts on how to change the belts from above in about 15 minutes...
When the belts are off, spin the pulleys. They should spin easily and smoothly. If they bind or feel "gritty" then the likely cause is that pulley.
Re the fluid, transmission fluid is red, Dexcool is pinkish...
