Did some looking around this morning and the leak seems to be coming from the valve cover area. Here is a pic.

That pic does appear to be a bad intake gasket. Is your oil milky looking at all?

Try tightening the bolts just a lil bit, mine was leaking from the same place, just tightened it a lil bit and it stopped, but it only a temporary fix, replace the gasket asap! if that is where it's coming from. However the amount of coolant leaking out and the squeaking says water pump, I would change it anyway just to be safe
