Because it is used to make some of the materials that hold your belt together.
The serpentine belt on a car will get wet with oil if there is a leaking gasket or seal. Oil is blown around by the cooling fan which can cause it to collect on the belt.
Above the oil pan, you need to take of the timing belt, timing belt rear cover, then the oil pan.
the belt its old or oil contamination on the belt or the belt its contaminated whit antifreeze
yes, but the timing belt run off the oil pussure so your oil is a main key in timing belt, but yes it can be done.
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.
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.
the timing belt may have broken, and a piece of the timing belt may have wedged itself into either the crankshaft oil seal, or the camshaft oil seal, and created the oil leak.
It is right next to the power steering belt, by the oil filter.
you have a bad crank OIL SEAL
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
power steering belt, if serpentine belt, your p/s pump might be low on oil or going south. but check belt and oil level first.Good luck
NO, not for a timing belt (toothed rubber-like belt). But if it's a timing chain (a metal chain) then there is.
