Oil "Leak"/Anti-freeze dump

Ok, so this morning it was a wonderful zero degrees where I live in Pittsburgh so I started my car to get it warmed up. I had it maxed on front and rear defrost, after 5-10 mins I came out, sounded sort of "squeaky," but then it always makes noise so I thought nothing of it. After I got in the car, I don't remember if I ever put it into reverse but all of a sudden smoke started pouring out of the ride side of the hood. I shut the car off and popped the hood after a couple minutes, and it looked like oil had gotten onto one of the belts and "sprayed" all over the place, their was also a little "puddle" of oil on top of the supercharger snout. I had somewhere to go and when I got back there was a puddle of anti-freeze next to my car.............Any suggestions on what the issue may be here?? I'm thinking it's probably intake manifold, but I do think my coupler in the supercharger was going bad, the "rocks" sound everyone talks about, and I know my valve gasket covers were leaking a bit.....Any thoughts, ideas could be helpful....Thanks!
 


anti freeze + oil could be a head gasket or intake gasket. Or you could have 2 seperate issues. Any coolant in your oil? Any oil in your coolant? I'd start with the obvious.......intake gasket. Also, check the freeze point of your antifreeze. This is just out on a whim, but your coolant coulda started to freeze up and blew out a freeze out plug or worse, cracked something. Just throwing out some possibilities with that part.
 
OK, so since today was above freezing I checked the car out again and it looks like the "oil" I was seeing was mixed with water. I started it up and water is dripping onto the belts causing the smoke and apparently it "mixed" with "oil" that's around the engine.....So, I don't think it's an oil leak, I'm thinking water pump now. Any thoughts on this??
