if your taling about a serpatine belt with is the belt that runs things like the power steering pump and water pump and alternater and ac compressor then why the hell does it cost a grand to replace i would find a different mechanic and get a second opion.
sounds like the water pump bearing is worn out and has detroyed the water pump shaft seal.
coolant is leaking thru the seal area ,due to the bearing worn out --hence throwing the water pump pulley out of alignment.
The water pump pulley runs of the timing belt.---hence the knocking --either from the pulley or belt chaffing against the timing cover or even throwing the engine timing a few degrees off.
Need to replace water pump and timeing belt and anything else that may be damaged.
That's why, when ever you do a timing belt always do the water pump too.
Check the belt first. Is this a serpentine belt? If so make sure you routed it the right way. The water maybe pouring out of the overflow because the pump is going the wrong way
