A water pump with bad bearings can cause this. I just experienced this on my 2003 Buick. All other belt driven components, i.e. a/c, alternator, Power Steering unit, tension pulley, etc were free turning. Water pump shaft was locking up and threw belt off.

What would be leaking in front of the motor near the bands in a 97 Saturn coupe?
If you mean the serpentine belt by "bands" than I would guess that it's the water pump. I had a bad coolant leak on my 97 SL2 and diagnosed it as being the water pump. It was leaking right from the pump, which is towards the bottom of the engine. Look at the diagram for the serpentine belt under the hood and see if that could be where it's leaking from. Hope that helps.

2000 Dodge Durango water pump circulates but is leaking does this mean just a seal or should entire pump be replaced?
If the front seal on the pump is leaking this usually indicates the pump is bad. I recently had the same problem. It is wise just to replace it. If it is not replaced soon it will cause excess tension on the serpentine belt which could cause damage to other accessories that run of the belt.
