Default 99 Protege squeeling after startup

Hi,

I have a check engine light, yellow liquid dripping from my engine and a squeal that continues for about 30 seconds after I have started the car and have begun driving for a few seconds. Any thoughts?

Your protege squeals and leaks a yellow liquid? Are you sure it is a car and not a pig?

Jokes aside: the yellow liquid is engine coolant.
The squeal comes from a slipping drive belt or maybe the water pump.
The check engine light means you need to have it scanned and tell us the codes. It could be anything.
