What color is the fluid it's leaking? From what you've said, it could be the water pump leaking coolant onto your belt. That'd cause some squeaking.

Water pumps probably gonna go. Your gonna want to get that fixed ASAP unless you want to be stranded [&:] Look on your water pump, there are small bleeder holes. If they're wet or leaking that means your pump is on the way out.

I agree ^^^^

Also known as a "weep" hole. If the water pump is crying (leaking) from it, it's time to replace it

a water pump on these trucks is a fun little job...doh....while doing the pump there is a pipe coming out of the drive side (it is a heater hose), replace that too....it is cheap and you don't have to worry about rust and stuff stopping a good seal...
