I was talking to a mechanic the other day at a tech session and he said this is not uncommon. It's due to the failing tensioner pulley. He said the most bizarre case of this he had seen was as the tensioner was failing and was causing the belt to eat away at the crank seal. The seal failed and the belt was wrapped around the crank and drawn into the block. Strangest thing he's ever seen.
