Default Sqeeling Noise

The other morn, I noticed a sqeeling noise coming from the engine... upon closer inspection, I think that the noise is coming from the Belt Tensioner Pully. With my experiance with computer fans, does the pully bearing need some grease or oil, now that we are in cold morns, etc, or is the belt just slipping on the pully....

Sounds like the bearing is on it's way out.
I think from memory they are a throw away item, should'nt cost any more than $30 to replace. You could try and spray lubricant on, but it is just delaying the inevitable.
Worst case scenario is it completly seizes and throws the belt.
