today's job took just about three hours with a nice pace, started with degrease using orange citrus spray, drained radiator, took out shroud, fan and radiator. got rid of bug and brush debris. went to autozone and bought three new belts, scraped old silicone off. put on Blue gasket goop new gasket, new studs for fan. tensioned new belts, radiator and shroud back in, filled it up with antifreeze and turned it back on. No more leak.
Thanks everyone for the belt, pulley advice, it was the right time to do the belts.
