Focus coolant leak/ timing belt problems HELP!!! Sign In

hello can someone help with my ford focus 1.4 petrol?
I have a coolant leak which seems to happen after the car has been moving but have just found 3 bearings on the floor, look at the engine and the timing belt looks like it is about to come off one of the cog/wheels which also does not seem paralle with the others.

Sounds like the water pump let go. Don't drive it that way or you could bend some valves if you haven't already.

If one lets go it wrecks expensive parts. Don't start that engine. Have it towed to a shop. Trust me, you'll be paying for a wrecker one way or the other and the other way is a lot more money.
