I asked your mileage because it could be time to change both belts if your anywhere near 100K.

The PT is about to turn 121k miles old. As you mentioned, it might be time for a new belt/s or the tenstioner. You are right! I will see if the alternator needs to be pushed a bit, and hopefully that will take care of my crying engine.

Have the Service department look it up under TSB's.

I'm going to look into that. I have seen the both of the belts, and I might fabricate something to keep water, and snow because we get snow too, from splasing up under there. I also need to look too see if it won't overheat, or my engine temps, if I do that.
