After doing more research on the subject, it appears that the dealer should have
replaced the tensioner and pulleys at 90,000 miles when they replaced the timing belt at purchase.

The tensioner is looking a little wet around the seal. It currently has pressure, but for how long?

The car now has 113,000 miles. I know that only the timing belt has been replaced before.

I just ordered the tensioner, tensioner pulley, idler pulley and water pump from FCP Groton.

When the crankshaft notch is lined up with the TDC mark, the camshafts have white paint marks aligned at the notches as indicated in figure 6 of the Caunters 2.9L six cyl.pdf document. The left pulley M is 5 teeth counter clockwise from the notch. The right pulley M is 12 teeth clockwise from the notch. Is this left over from the last belt change?
Can I safely use these marks or do I need to align the M markings on the camshaft pulleys?
