Why is the oil leaking on the belt in a 2003 Saturn?
I had my oil changed at a oil change place which I will not name on my 1996 Saturn wagon. When the worker replaced the oil filter, the old gasket was left on the filter. This caused oil to spew up in my engine and all over my engine and belt. I now need to have a new belt since oil residue is all over the belt. The oil change place offered to clean up that was in my engine but not replace the belt. It may not be your problem but I sure do wish that this car wasn't so low to the ground that it can't be changed by us.
Why does the alternator belt slip?
Either the belt is worn down, has some oil on it, or the belt is under-tensioned. If the V-Belt is glacy or cracked on the side wall, it is run down. Replace it. Else, If the belt is oily, figure out why, fix that problem, clean oil from pulleys, replace belt. Else the belt is undertensioned. If none of the above, then the belt may be the wrong dimension.

How do you remove excess oil from alternator belt to stop the sqeaking?
First thing to do is fix the leak that allowed oil onto the belt in the first place. Then replace the contaminated belt with a new belt. OR WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING SPRAY ENGINE DEGREASER ON THE GROOVES OF THE BELT. YOU COULD TRY DISH SOAP AS WELL. IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE TO GET ALL OF THE OIL OFF, BUT KEEP SPRAYING IT AND EVENTUALLY THE BELT WILL BE CLEAN AND THE SQUEAK WILL STOP
