what pulley is upper left looking into the bay? I have pinpointed the source of the hissing noise in my engine bay as coming from the pulley that is on the top left side of the system when looking head on into the bay. It's the oe that sticks up next to my battery you know? I noticed this after removing the air baffles when I switched my lid since it was previously hidden by said baffles. do any of you know which pulley this is, or what the part number is? Its driving me nuts... its so loud and obnoxious...

alright thanks guys I appreciate it. 
hey do you think it could be the tensioner pulley itself? Because in the diagrams on installuniversity the one I think is making the noise is labeled the tensioner. But I am not sre if it's acutally THAT pulley or not. I pulled it off last weekend and when I spun it it made a kind of itty bitty hissing noise, whih when amplified x000 rpms / minute could be the one, but I dont know. I did not take off the idler though, so as of yet I am unsure as to which one it is, but it sounds like the tensioner. have you had any experiences with this kind of issue? anyways thanks again.
