Major problem now
Driving home car starts to over heat and then i lose the belt. Pull over and car smokes a a little, then i start to hear the fluid dropping. the pulley on the face of the water pump is lose and the coolant is leaking from between the pulley and the water pump. what the hell happend and more importantly am i screwed?
going to get it towed back to my place now.

there was some slight noise but nothing i was really concernd about. and i figured i could limp home as it was less than a mile. so the pump huh...just got it towed home. im gona start with the pump i guess. any thing else it could be? i hope its just that as i dont have the funds to fix anything major.

yep, pump is bad...theres a seal in the shaft that finally went, chances are the bearings have been bad for a while, they dont always make a noise...the seals can only take so much abuse

since you're gonna be working on the front of the motor, just check to make sure all the other pulleys spin freely.
