you have some wicked tension on that belt maybe try loosening the tenser pully a bit unless the belt is rubbing on something on the belts that break do they have rub marks on them? and the oil leak is it for sure coming out of the crankshaft? and not the top of the oil pan? cause honestly if you fixed it and its still leaking something is wrong there.
