Default '97 s10 probs

Ok so I have this POS Isuzu Hombre which is basically a copy of the s10. It has 2 problems with it. 1. Is that it has the worst squeal coming from the belt EVARRRR! 2. Is that the clutch keeps losing it's clutch fluid.

Now, with the belt issue, I have replaced the belt, the belt tensioner, and I even cleaned off the PS pump pulley because it sounded like the squeal was coming from that particular pulley. I cleaned it off with a bench grinder using a wire brush attachment. Still has the same exact squeal. WTF?!

With the clutch issue, the fluid leaks out in about 24 hrs. I have no clue where the fluid goes. It just vanishes like a fart in the wind and leaves no traces of leaks or anything. I have replaced the master cylinder and nothing has changed. Please don't tell me it's the slave cylinder because it's inside the god damned bell housing. I'm leaning towards the slave cylinder because where else is it going to leak from? I'm just making sure I'm not missing anything here before I rip out a tranny for nothing.

Thanks for any help guys.
