Message	it's got oil on it. I remember reading a post about how oil is not good for the belt. I had a front seal leak. I installed it improperly and the spring got snagged and tore apart. Caused a massive oil leak when running and the oil would get pulled around the front of the motor by the timing belt. Good luck
