Alright my temp gauge in my car has been on the high side for a few weeks i think because of the nice weather cause last summer it also gave me problems but it has never been this bad... when i was driving today in about 15 min of normal driving the temp just shot up so as i was tryin to pull over my a/t temp, radiator, my battery and break light came on and my power steering went out. So i got over and poped the hood they radiator fluid was bellowing out of the over fill thing. And i noticed that my belt had fallen off. So i get it towed back to my house and was im lookin under the car i see that radiator fluid was leaking from the pully area. i was just wonndering if that is most likely the headgasket or did i really mess something up? and why is it heating up so bad?

pic1 just showing the pully (whats that connected to by the way?)
pic2 Same pully from bottom and you can see where its leaking
pic3 does it look bent or is that just me??
i dont know if it is it just looked really wobbly when i put the belt back on

Your water pump went out - needs replacing. That pulley is on the water pump and it can get wobbly when the water pump bearings go. Might consider replacing the timing belt and idler, tension pulleys at the same time if they need too since you must remove the TB to do a water pump.
