Default bad, bad thoughts . . . get it looked at tomorrow . . . catastrophic failure could total your car .
The pump bearing fails and chucks the roller bearings all over inside the timing cover. There was so much play in this "bearing" the impeller broke.

This was just one of about 13 roller bearings collected from the timing belt cover area. Not good.

It was so hot it melted it's way into the harmonic balancer backing plate, quite rapidly it appears . . .

If you break a timing belt at speed you will damage valves, valve guides, pistons, heads and quite possibly turbos and cats.
