alternator pulley snapped
just put a new alternator in last Thursday, not even 100 miles on her. on my way home from work just now I hearing loud rattle like a fan blade hitting plastic. I got out and checked, all good except a whining noise coming from the side where my oil filter is and oil pressure is all good. 3 mins later *clunk* and belt wrapped around the fan and I'm missing a bolt from the bottom of the bracket and the pulled is snapped but still attached. WTF?! I'm def getting another alternator under warranty and new belt. but what was that whining? someone help bc I was I an accident with my other car and have to buy a new car so I need to fix this immediately!! thanks guys

"and there's black grease coming out of the alternator." That alternator should be cast back into the chasm from which it came. Get one that leaks nymphomaniacs or cocaine or something. The only thing that could do anything remotely like that is the bearing.
Check for play in ihe ideer pullay.

Take it back apart, feel all the pulleys. All should be perfectly smooth, with about no play. See if you see any sign that the rubber part that makes the crank pulley a two piece deal , is messed up. It's aligned with no rubber sticking out.
