Only warning light that came on was the battery.

No coolant visible in the tank. But all I could see was some droplets on the air filter and maybe 1/2 cup sprinkled around - mostly some drips and light spray droplets. So maybe spilled out before I made it home.

Wheel and spindle of the coolant pump came right out of the pump. This looks like the only spot where coolant came out.

S-belt was installed about 200 miles ago and has been quiet no squeeking or noise. No indication that I could tell it wasn't right.

First sound I heard was a light tap or ping from the engine in idle when I started it up.

First noticed the smell and smoke/steam when I stopped in the garage. But it came out of the vents for a good five - ten miutes.
