Squeaking noise
When I did my coolant bypass, I spilled osme coolant on the belt and water pump pulley. Now when I start my car, there is an squeaking noise tha goes away after 10 min. Can the coolant dry out the belt and caus ethe noise?

No, the coolant is slippery, so it's almost like getting oil on
the belt. You could try spraying the belt and pulleys with
brake cleaner, but in general, once a belt starts squeaking,
you are best off replacing it. Just be sure to clean up the
pulleys before putting on the new belt.
