Default Coolent Problem and other PS sound

Again i have something wrong with my whip. The other day i was chiln in my car with some friends and i smelt that fishy smell i was like damn my coolant better not be leeking. it was wet outside so when i looked under my car i couldnt tell but i saw a little puddle. Car was ok temps were good. then when i come back from school today my dad said there was a small puddle again so i knew i had a leak. he said its probably the pump cuz it only leaks when the car cools down a bit. anyone wonna try to diagnose. and how much will would it cost on average? will probably go to gilamns if i can find it. tried before but couldnt find the building. is it in the back? gonna check it out when i change my oil tmrw at my friends place. my dad has the tablets u crush that fixes leaks. (not the stuff that clogs ur system) hopefull that will fix. i make minimum wage so i cant afford much.

also, my power steering is make a quiet wind when i turn the wheel under pressure, when moving slow. gotta check the fluid still. is it probably low? or is that on it way out? i hope not or else this car has to go.

well i kept an eye on the coolant its good. i guess it just overflowed a bit cuz of the cold weather who knows. no more puddles. i checked the PS fluid its at the ful level almost exactly. so could it be the belt making the wind? my car has 87k km on it. original belt im asuming. looks old.
