Replaced water pump after it shredded my serpentine belt and then I noticed antifreeze pooling underneath the thermostat housing which has been replaced twice already now started running hot going into idle mode but the reservoir stays mostly full.

So it the coolant running onto the serpentine belt? I am not sure what is going on here can you please give us more details? So does the belt shred and the engine overheat? Does the coolant boil over? Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on :) Ken
