Water leak on passenger side of engine after alternator replacement

Hi All,

So this week I had to do an alternator replacement on my 4.8i which all that seems to have worked out except:

1. There seems to be a squeak coming from the belt?

and

2. I have water/coolant leaking from the passenger side of the engine which is enough to cause steam to also rise on that side (not to mention it going through a couple of gallons of water thus far).

I have no idea where the leak is coming from on the passenger side of the engine - only know that it is reaching something hot enough to cause steam (whether it is from the heat of the fluid itself on these cooler fall days or it is hitting the exhaust manifold/engine somehow.

We were obviously focused on the driver side of the engine where the alternator is, so it's completely puzzling that I have coolant dripping and steam rising on the passenger side of the engine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced!
