Urgently decide whether engine disaster or just a noise. If former, ignore other faults till fixed. Else, leave till later.
Read up on other posts about coolant level sensor and heed warnings about fragility of the header tank.
Add brake fluid. DOT 4. First, check disks (especially min thickness) & pads and then check for any fluid leaks.
What OBD code? (There are 4 sensors of 2 types. Don't make a mistake...)

Header tank and tap tap top end noise
Hi
The header tank is that where the coolant is filled? Do they have a sensor and ate 90$
The engine noise. Could that just be fuel sounds like someone tap dancing tap tap top end noise. This is an S R so was concerned about the supercharger being an issue?
The brake fluid leak I'm told its the abs unit needs changing
Last question does the supercharge oil need changing and how often ?
Thanks to my US cousins and guys back home for any more advise.

charlie, does the engine tapping noise increase with rpm? Check oil and perform oil-filter swap. Keep some of the old oil for possible analysis. Don't mess with ABS tillthe brake system is fully analysed. As jagv8 suggests, check brake pads for excessive wear. Worn pads will cause calipers to dive deeper to press pads against rotor, in turn lowering fluid in reservoir.

First cheap and STR do NOT go together! So if this is your primary goal sell the car now.
You have posted a list with some expensive things in it. I don't even want to know how much the ABS unit will be.
Still in the dark as no mileage was posted but at least we do know the year and model. The noise could be the SC coupler but depending on the miles it might be better to have the entire unit serviced. Which would include new bearings and coupler as well as oil. This also won't be cheap.
Be SURE and change the hose under the SC if you take it off!
Are you willing to spend several thousand dollars on repairs?

The hose is just a standard rubber hose. Which I think is part of the problem! So it's only about $20.
We have had reports of $1200-$1800 for the dealer or shop to remove and reinstall the SC. The DIY guys report about $350-$650 for gaskets and hoses plus about 18+ hours labor. It's not for the weak of heart and I have not changed mine yet. I do however have all the gaskets and hoses ready to go if and when it happens.
Be sure and check that rebuilder out completely on-line! People have had some run ins with Stiegemeier and I won't ever use him.

Charlie, charlie, charlie....slow down my man. You're getting way ahead of yourself. First: To test the supercharger bearing, remove the supercharger belt then spin pulley by hand and listen for bearing noise. With the belt removed, start her up. If she's quiet then either accessory drive pulley bearing and/or supercharger bearing. Do the same for the a/c: remove belt....

Dang Charlie! Thought this STR was already yours? Ask to take it to a mechanic to spec her out. Have him remove belts, test bearings and with belts removed, start her up and listen. If you are able to pin point a problem and it's basically economical i.e. replace pulleys, tensioners, a/c compressor, etc. then use this as a tool to negotiate a fair price ex: $6000
