Opened the bonnet for regular inspection when I saw that the coolant reservoir was full of black oil! Which made me have a closer look.

The auxiliary belt have just started to rip and there is a bit of it in the crank pulley that cannot come off from underneath (the pulley must come off for the small bit of the belt to be dragged away from there)

The engine was running 100% fine, no smoke, lack of power or wiered noises. I guess it was just random luck to open the bonnet at that time. I reckon that if I start the engine now without changing the aux belt I will regret it! So i'm waiting for the belt & tensioners to arrive and in the mean time I want to ask you guys, could there be any indications that the oil cooler is trash now because some bit of the aux belt got stuck in the crank pulley? I'm pretty sure it's the oil cooler because I did flush the cooling system with engine off, and massive gunk came out. I also removed the coolant hoses that goes into the oil filter housing/ oil cooler and they didnt look too good.. Is it possible to repair the oil coolant with new sealant or do I need to buy a new one?
