squealing under hood 2004 honda civic

Been having squealing problem under hood that seems to be around alternator belt for over year. Belts are fine & squeal only lasts for couple seconds & may come & go 3 or 4 times a day but is nuisance. Friend said where i had underside of hood done with rustproofing it leaked from there on belts, but that was done over a year ago & i cleaned off what i could but it still persists. 2004 honda civic 1.7 lit motor. Could my alternator be problem? Thanks BOB

Belt slipping, clean the belt/ pulleys with degreaser or something that will remove the oil and check for proper tension.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
