Ok, so bear with me here as i try to explain this the best I can.

My car is overheating, not all the way into the red on the stock eng. temp. gauge but its past the normal marks.

My battery, well its bubbling out water from the cells...*obviously this is bad, but why did it happen?and what the heck does this mean?*

An unidentified belt now makes a sweet squeeling sound *my guess is its the main alternator belt...its not broken tho however...*

I drove my car around the block and the turbo is making a more than abnormal spooling sounds...the car boosts fine..but its a gawdawful difference...the car drives and and feels normal..minus the fact that the spooling and the squeeling of belts are in the mix along with the overheating issues...

There are no leaks of coolant..it holds it just fine....
thermostat is fairly new
radiator is brandnew koyo
um, and the car is pretty much stock (a few boltons)

Is this a combo problem that just happened at once?
Someone please tell me its not a head gasket problem or something like that.
Car spits out the normal toned exhuast at idle, cause of my old turbo...exhuast is not white or odiferous. *what i have read to look for is in the exhuast color/oder for headgasket problems*

HELP HELP HELP...
