The random tapping or knocking sound from the tensioner is an indication of wear. I had a belt loose a rib and wear 3 V grooves through in one place after a 500 mile trip A/C on all the way. There was no sign of an oil leak at the oil change 1000 miles before. After the trip there was oil all over, could not see why the oil leaked. Have replaced tensioners on both cars at about 50K because of failure of one and knocking noise in the other. They both had been knocking since about 40K
