Belt began squeaking above 1000rpm...what is this?

[MellonRover]

I bought new belts at purchase in april, just haven't gotten around to doing them.about a week ago( after doing plugs) I noticed a squeak that sounded like a glazed belt. Looking at engine bay i saw this. And it was after I did plugs because i cleaned and aerospace 303'd the engine plastics.

Anyone know what it could be? Coolant when i purchased was green, so i dont think this is dried Dex. It looks like dried rubbing compound. Belt looks slightly frayed on one side too. Looks like the fan threw it up... but from where??

dirt?

Possibly, waiting on the 36mm wrench to pull fan and do belts. hopefully I get a better Idea of what's going on when I can see more.

Wheres the weep hole on these pumps? Something pinkish and dried talc consistency around right side bottom area of oil filter housing, off to the right . Sorry hard to get decent pics ...this is best i can provide.

Btw...that stretch belt .....ooof

Is that belt sagging? Your tensioner is probably broken if the belt isn't tight and that would be the cause of a squeaking belt. I'd get a new Gates brand belt and a Land Rover tensioner.

Belt was off the tensioner, was midway through replacing both.
