Hello,I am Danny.

Usually that is a sign either the belt(s) are a little loose or there is a slight glaze built up.The worse thing to do is spray a chemical or belt grip on it. That just gums thing up and makes thing worse. First thing I suggest is to tighten the belt(s) If does not go away try replacing. I have attached a tutorial for you to look at. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions.Thanks for using 2CarPros.
