I go for a drive and on start up I hear squeaking sound from front of the engine (I still have access cover off) it stops after few mins at idle....but begins again when at rest and revving.
I placed a steel rod on the pulley bolts and then to my ear to hopefully hear the squeal.... no luck
It got better (revs had to go higher for it to show up) after time driving, but still no right.
Grrrr what the..
 
How old or how many miles on the belt. Maybe it should be changed????
 
Maybe some belt dressing?

I used to touch a squealing belt with a bar of hand soap during idle RPM. Worked well.
 
I think the belts are original except the oil pump belt was changed a few years ago the car has about 8,500 miles on it when I was looking in the manual it has a section on when to replace the belts it did show what the ribs look like when they are worn mine look perfectly new versus what they talked about for replacing
I will look into something to assist the belt squeak if that is the problem
 
I don’t think it’s a bearing and more like belt or it’s tension issue
I squirted some water on the pulley ribs at the east to see/reach pump pulley and it stopped for 30sec and started again.
I squirted some on the tensioner pulley and that induced a little squeal
All the belts are true running in alignment but the most firewall side pulley rib of the 6 is a little shiny.
