What would cause coolant leak around belt pulley area on car?

Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.

No, low coolant would cause the opposite.

a leak in a head gasket could cause coolant to go into only one cylinder.

water pump, oil, water, engine coolant....main cause would be engine coolant, just check to see if you have a leak.

there are no gaskets on a tension pulley ther is however a spring and yes it can cause the belt not to run smoothly

A supercharger is controlled by its pulley size. The smaller the supercharger drive pulley is, the higher in boost pressure you will see. Now if you go with a larger crank pulley, this too will cause you to see more boost. So, in all honestly, the only way to really over boost your supercharger is when you mess around with the pulleys.

you have to find where the leak is first.

If the radiator is cracked then the vehicle has ran dry on coolant. This would cause the radiator to crack if there wasn't any coolant.

I would be more apt to believe that the power steering pump failing would have caused the belt to jump off and become lodged between the pulley and the motor than the other way around.

If an idler pulley is broken, I would advise not to drive it anywhere. It would effect the power steering, water pump, alternator and coolant fan causing you to get stuck on the road and possibly cost many more $$ in damage.

I believe that indicates your engine coolant level is low or you have lost your coolant

A damaged heater core will cause coolant or water to leak onto the passenger floorboard.

You may have a leak of coolant. Take your car to a shop and tell them you are smelling coolant and may have a leak.

Sounds like you need a tune up By itself low coolant would only cause overheating, if it is overheating that can cause runnimg complaints.

Many things could cause an engine to shake. One, for example, would be low coolant or oil levels.

Could be an A/C coolant leak.

head gasket lets compession push coolant ont into over flow

Yes, the bearing in that pulley may be going bad.

It could be a bearing in an idler pulley.

There are a couple of things that can cause oil to get into your coolant reservoir. A blown head gasket or a broken piston ring are the most common causes.

i had the same problem, had tried everything and finally found out that the intake gaskets were prone to leak water around the number 5 cylinder. It would cause the gasket to leak around the intake port and make the engine run ruff. Also do you have a coolant leak and have to keep adding coolant this is were it will be at. hope this helps.

Usually a bad water pump leaks coolant from the weep hole just below the pulley. This is the number one indicator of water pump failure. Otherwise, if it is overheating, that may also be a cause if the fins are worn out.

Yes, it controls the coolant flow around the engine block, without coolant the engine would overheat.

Coolant sensors can cause a lot of various problems. The ECM relies on the coolant sensor for temperature readings. This is so that it can adjust the timing, fuel, and other related systems. But without knowing more I couldn't say that it is your problem.
