Replacement Skunk Belts

While fishing for a solution to the chirping problem (see other thread) Ford replaced the serpentine belt. I thought I ran over a critter! The skunk smell entered the cab during idling at stops and when shut down. I read others have this problem smell with replaced belts also....I have driven 2,000 miles with "stinky", will it eventually go away? (or does my wife keep on accusing me of eating too many Rosarita refrieds..?)

On my 04 the skunk smell lasted about 3 months before I quit noticing it. This was back in early 05 IIRC.
