Should I by Kelly belts from AZ?

Or should I just go with OEM?

Hopefully the belt was what was causing the squeal instead of bad pressure hose or pump.

Thanks for the help.

Replaced all of my belts today. The Kelly PS belt (p/n 385K4) was a little too short, so I got the next size 390K4 (39") and moved the idler pulley in more. Forgot to tighten the alternator pivot bolt but then remembered. The belt change fixed my squeal! AZ sells gatorbacks btw, but they're so expensive.

One thing, yesterday when my belt broke, I drove the car home, stopping every now and then to let it cool down. Today I noticed a little bit of coolant dripping (about 1 small drop every 15 seconds) from the crank pulley. Is it possible to have overheated the engine and busted the water pump seal? Or what could have happened. Maybe the pump needed replacement anyway.
