Steering wheel lock/coolant water leaking

Hi all,

Today as I was making my way home I heard a strange high pitched noise followed by a clunk. When I pulled into my garage I noticed my steering wheel started getting stiffer the more I would turn it to back into the garage. Once I gave it a little gas the steering wheel would come loose. After I parked I noticed ALL my coolant was leaking from the radiator. Also popped the hood and noticed there was water around the engine bay some splashing above and the radiator reservoir is empty.

Safe to say my radiator popped but what I’m not understanding is why my steering wheel became stiffer unless I gave it gas? Anyone have any idea? I’ll be searching for a new Radiator soon but I’d like to know if there is anything else I need to check

 

Is the fan belt still there???

 

It’s looking like it is there drenched in coolant

 

Sorry forgot to quote

 

Pump pulley could've been slipping if it was getting soaked would be my first thought.

 

It sounds like this is about what might’ve have happen I’m glad it wasn’t too serious. Thank you everyone for your input
