It would seem it was the belt. It looked pretty loose, then when I grabbed the tensioner spring it fell apart in my hand. It broke at about the third coil from the top. Then, while in there looking around, I noticed a small leak in the top seam of the radiator. So, it is turning into quite a project. At any rate, thanks for the help.
