Squeaky Noise coming from belt? (Video)
Hi all, Im trying to figure out what is making that squeaky noise from my camaro. My guess is that it's coming from the serpentine belt.

i would look at the tensioner and idler first. bad bearing in either can make a sound like the belt slipping. maybe squirt some lube to one and see if it stops or changes for a short time. then the other. also dont squirt it while running. easier to keep from getting on the belt.

So while the engine is off, do i squirt wd 40 on belt or tensioner?

Alright, tomorrow morning ill squirt water on the idler and tensioner to see if it is either of them. I dont wanna risk untightening the bearings/bushing because I have no experience on how to work this and I am afraid that I might damage something along the way

I started my car and the squeaking sounded a bit low but then it increased and increased. My engine started to lightly throw out smoke:
Then after I took it out for a ride to warm up the squeaking got louder:

go here and download the factory service manual for your year, or closest year to yours. https://www.mediafire.com/?40mfgeoe4ctti to remove the belt you need to put a wrench or socket on the tensioner and turn it so it relieves the pressure to the belt, the belt will then come off, be sure to make sure your picture/sticker showing the way the belt goes on is still there under the hood. not so easy to remember how it goes once its off.
