I recently had my oil changed & they said my belts were fine. About a week later, my car starts making this loud screaching sound so I took it back & they sprayed some belt lube on it & it went away for a few hours. Now in the same general area, not only do I hear the screaching sound but there is also this real loud humming noise. My service engine soon light came on a few days ago & I had the oil checked again & it was fine. My coolant was low so they filled it back up but the noise still remains & is louder & louder each day. Is this possibly my water pump going out? HELPPPPPPP!

sounds like you have some bearings going bad in your water pump
