The noise they make when there broken or have missing teeth is very distinctive compared to the normal starting noise. There should have been no question on where to start looking if the belt has failed!

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to give this a try when I get access to the car. She says she can't see anything from looking down the oil cap hole.
This car is a real piece of crap. My brother bought it when I couldn't go with him and he did not check it well. The car is so new to her, she doesn't know what it really sounds like. I think she has had it less than two weeks.
Craigs list is not for rookies.
