bad night.
So last night after boating all day, my 2005 dodge dakota v6 3.7L broke down on me. At first inspection I noticed the belt was shreded and wrapped around the fan. then after inspecting it a bit more this morning i notice it had sprayed fluid all over. I think the leak is coming from behind the bottom pully somewhere. Any idea what it might be. color is light pink and does not seem to be oily to me either. I'm going back out after lunch to get some picture for you all. Thanks in advance.

Dex coolant is orange which can look pinkish (If your just running straight dex), tranny fluid could also look pinkish. When you say it broke down did it just stop running or did you notice it was over heating? I had the belt shred on mine also, it didn't go all the way off like yours I just heard a whipping sound from under the hood and when I checked all but 2 ribs had let go. One of those little things that are very very easy to forgot and so very critical to the well being of your vehicle.

My concern is its still leaking something as we speak. About a drop every 30 seconds.

I have not got a new belt. But I will on payday. I am just attempting to save a tow trip to the mechanic/ possible fix this my self.
