As a follow up to me spilling coolant on my serpentine belt on my 2002 Buick Century I was in there pouring some more water while I was running the engine and used a little simple green trying to get it clean and when I was slowly pouring water on my belt it actually completely stopped turning for about 5-10 seconds after I stopped pouring the water but then started to go again eventually. I was able to duplicate the issue every time I poured water into it while running it stopped the belt again.
I'm trying to figure out if it's normal for a serpentine belt to slip and stop turning when it's really wet or if I should just start throwing parts at it like a new belt and pulley.
Previously to me spilling the coolant on the belt I didn't have any issues but now sometimes I notice it's slipping even when I'm driving and not wet from a stop because the power steering has stopped working a few times for a split second until you get above idle.
