yep, just been to look, seems to be the aux belt on the crank pulley, if i spray the crank pulley with brake cleaner it goes away for a moment. the belt is only a month old
i cant see anything on the belt or pulley yet. but the rubber damper section (separating the two parts as it were) is perished and split in a couple of places, not deep tho.

make sure the belt is fitted is fitted on the crankshaft pulley on the out side groove if its fitted on cam case side it will rub case and make cam belt jump teeth

same applies to the aircon compressor pulley as well
