So today, im cruisin along, Bam, no power stearing and my battery light flicks on. I lost the alternator belt obviously. But thats not it, I parked the car, and all of a sudden i notice an extremely loud and fast Ticking noise, definitly not your usual lifter tick, coming from the head. I'm going in to evaluation mode right now to figure it out and am seriously stumped. Enless its a lack of oil (which i havent check as it was to dark at the time), i dont know. Also, i noticed when i stepped of the car when i parked it, it smelled a bit like antifreeze, i popped the hood, and sure enough it was a stronger odor. Any ideas fellas?
Hopefully this brief movie helps, or even works for that matter. Movie of ticking noise -------------------- 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Actually it turned out to just be a tensioner and replacing it and the alternator belt seemed to do the trick, I regret not keeping everyone updated seeing as these conclusions have started to be made.
The total operation only cost me 30 bucks to fix, not such a major problem after all -------------------- 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX
