I was having squeaking in the engine bay as well this week and apparently it was my AC belt (Didn't have time to figure it out myself) after i had someone look it over. This would be the second time its happened. Once upon pickup of my car when i first bought it and now.

hmmm...so the belt just goes bad or is it something else?

I had a squeal from my ac belt after my Maggie install I spilled some antifreeze on the belt when taking off hoses and what not and that caused it. I ended up replacing the belt or I washed it with soap I cant recall may be your issue may not be

Not sure if the belt was bad or not. I don't recall them saying they replaced it. But i believe they said it came off its tracks just a time bit. Ill have to ask them again to verify.. If you can get access to one of those neat car stethoscopes that will surely find where it is coming from in a timely manner. To me it sounds like a belt not a pulley or anything. Pulley's will reveal more of a screeching noise.. Belts squeal and squeak.

AC belts have been known to jump a rib on the main pulley some times causing a squeaking noise. Happened to me a couple of years ago. I was able to apply a little pressure to the belt while manually rotating the engine and get it realigned. Haven't had any issues since.

Take a look at the AC belt and make sure it is centered on the main pulley. You should be able to tell if it is not aligned properly. If looks good, the AC belt probably is not the issue.
