I have the same problem...thought it was the idler so replaced.....still there...turns out the stock crank pulley can cause this. I have used some belt dressing on it and it works for a while. I don't really drive the car so its not a biggy for me.....

^ That. Make sure if you go for re-greasing you clean everything really well and get all the old grease out and such, if not chances are it will return.
