240D dumped its coolant, belts slack

Noticed an odd sound and a cloud of liquid.....pulled over to find coolant everywhere. The whole big pulley assembly on the front of the engine was hanging loose with the belts all slack. I did notice power steering went out just as I pulled over. Thoughts? Temp worked its way to near 100 after I shut it off, but no overheating. I’m thinking the pulley sheered off due to old loose bolts - from what I understand, there are six that hold it in and most people find three missing screws and three sheered off screws, indicating three backed out over time and the other three failed due to inadequate load tolerance.
