    Hello All,Driving on hiway, weather is great. All of a sudden, steering stiff then charging system failure. Check under hood and serpentine belt has come off. Check water pump pully and it wobbles when turned. Figure the water pump is bad. But where did the OIL come from. Check everything but can't see where it would be coming from. There was NO oil leaks on that side of the engine even after it has sat for a week. Any ideas as to where to OIL came from?

    Coolant will turn black when it's all over the belt.

    Thanks for your help. It is coolant. It was all dried up by the time I was getting to fix it. All good. Thanks again.
