Default Squeaky belts

I had power steering leak and it ruined my belts, it made them squeal. I got the belts changed and now its still squealing what do I do to stop the squealing. I know sometimes it squeals a little even though you change the belts until the belts get a little broken in. Its been like a week or so and they are squealing still pretty loud. I have no idea what to do.

Yeah, it's probably a pulley that is making the noise. I'd run it with the A/C belt off first just to make sure that it isn't the tensioner or idler pulley for that system. That will help to narrow it down some.

if you didnt have the squeel before the leak and changed the belts, there is probably some power steering fluid on the pulleys. take the belts off and spray the pulleys with brake clean.
