Mine used to squeal when it rained, it will keep getting worse. I replaced all 4 and no more squeaks. And yeah there is a black donut looking pulley on the drivers side near the PS pulley.

You could try belt dressing but I am betting it's a pulley. The pulleys have cheap grease in them and go bad often, especially the lower one that gets water and grime splashed up on it or into it. You can buy new ones or repack the grease as shown here https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...r-pulleys.html . I would check the bottom ones first.
