Default Need some advice on a 2000 ram van v6

It's my dad's vehicle, the surpentine belt snapped on his way home from work but he drove it for 2 miles still till he reached the house.

I put the surpentine belt back on, started it up and it was making a real nasty noise. It sounded like something was loose n rattling in the fan, the belt came off and it was dripping anti freeze from the crankshaft pulley.

Any ideas? Common problems?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the water pump bearing blew, which of course is what caused the original serpentine belt to let go in the first place.

Yea maybe an hour after I posted this I examined it more to find out that the water pump pulley wasn't moving n also had some wiggle to it.

Thanks again
