I would get that replaced ASAP. Oil leaking on the belt like that will cause it to de-rail and could get it sucked through the crank seal in the front causing engine damage.

Hey CT, thanks for the gasket suggestion. That job was done last year but i didnt do a good job of getting more of that old grease off. I will do it when i get the belt off this time around. Would you recommend i clean with brake parts cleaner, Simple Green degreaser or what? I just want to be safe with what i put on the alternator.
I plan on fixing the accessory belt this weekend if the snow melts by then.
