I took my Grizz in to have the steering adjusted and when the mechanic rode it he said the belt was slipping pretty bad. I never noticed it at all. He opened the case and found a fair amount of oil so he is replacing all three sealsand the belt. It's still under warranty so it is no big deal (except that one of the seals has been on back order for 21/2 weeks).
My question is how can you tell when the belt is slipping. I only have about 50 miles on this beast and it has run the same since the day I brought it home. This is my first auto so any input would be appreciated

If you only have 50 miles on it odds are the damn thing was slipping from the day you bought it. Wait until you get it back, you will probably notice a difference and a light bulb is going to go off "Oh, so that's the say it supposed to drive"

Going up an incline is where one can really notice slippage
