belt squeak
Try to isolate where the squeak is coming from.
If you have anything like Harbor Freight and Tool (cheap Taiwanese tools) you should be able to pick up an automotive stethoscope for around $5. Use one of those to isolate where the squeak is coming from. I would concentrate on accessories. I've seen more than one squeaky alternator. Also, consider if any service occurred immediately before the squeaking started.
How are the belts wearing and did you check for correct tension?

this morning i sprayed some wd40 on the passenger side of the belts and the squeaking stopped for about 30 seconds so i think it might b one of the tendsioners most likely the ac tensioner

You don't really need a stethoscope...you can just cut a length of vacuum hose and hold one end on your ear and move the other end around...you'll be able to pinpoint the squeak with that...just obviously be careful since the belts will be moving and it's pretty easy to REALLY injure yourself.

Another option is just take the belt off and spin all the pulleys by hand...I just replaced my cars main (nto AC) belt tensioner today...had a squeak, took the belt off, spun all the pulleys said "this one feels like it has sand in the bearing", replaced it, squeak gone.
