Serpentine belt :(

Serp belt shredded.
AFTER I changed OFHG gaskets
I did notice that I was leaking a lot of oil before it shredded- I thought due to OFHG.
Leaking major oil now.
Advice?

I don't know what OFHG is but, replace it, wipe the blood and sweat from your brow, and carry on.

Carnage. And I thought my OFHG leak was bad. Good luck with the cleanup!

Front crank seal and likely sucked pieces of belt inside the engine. Remove the front crank pulley and inspect the seal as well as likely have to drop oil pan and inspect oil pickup/crank shaft for belt pieces

Pieces of your belt likely got into your engine through the crank seal. Your oil pickup will likely have belt in it. Either caused by oil on your belt or power steering pulley hitting subframe if you have a n54.

I believe it's originally from oil. Ps pulls is not loose or did not look damaged

Seen this time and time again from people letting there oil filter housing gaskets leak. Time to drop that subframe and pull the pan.

^ What tglazed said.

I noticed a weird rattling from my car recently and brought it to a shop. Turns out the power steering pump bolts are known for backing out. See my struggle here:

Great News !! Belt didn't wrap around the crankshaft seal but is leaking from the REPLACED OFHG. Will change it out Saturday and give you guys an update. Thanks for all the replies !!

The power steering pulley seems to be solid as well. Will update ASAP

Update: Replaced oil filter housing gasket with the SAME result. Only leaks under load.

Thought it was a head but found it was leaking down the block

Going to try to replace Tstat housing gasket again. Wish me luck

Update: Changed Oil Cooler Gasket
Still leaking.

Found the upper radiator hose ripped and believe it is coolant instead.

Coolant was low.

Probably looks like oil due to the mixing from the deteriorated OFHG gasket. Will update tomorrow after I replace hose.

Wish me luck!!

I'm not one to recommend this, but if I were in your position, I'd just change the whole oil cooler and oil filter housing to see if that'll finally resolve my problem.
