Serpentine belt/coolant leak
 
Started my truck today and it squealed on start up which it never does. Let it warm up about 5 min,started to drive and noticed some noise and the. The belt popped off. The belt looks to be in good condition. When I stopped to look at the issue, I noticed coolant leaking out but not from the radiator. With the belt popping off, does anyone know what might have broke in the process causing the coolant to leak out?

There is a bearing in your waterpump pump pulley and if it goes bad and or locks up it allows collant to leak through... my truck has done it twice and i have no idea why

That's what's up. I haven't really had a chance to work on my truck since it happened this morning. I hope its just the pulleys since they are not that much. thanks for your incite.

Water pump is simple to change...check the tensioner, tensioner pulley, and the idler pulley too.
