OMG NOT SKEAKING!!!!

Take your belt off and spin each pulley by hand. Its probably one of them and that will narrow it down. I don't think you are suppose to use belt dressing on the serpentine belt anyway, but I could be wrong.

Also if your belt seems loose when it's installed, your tensioner could be on it's last leg. If you need to replace it the sponsors carry stronger aftermarket tensioners.
