Pulley question?

My car is making a weird noise when I let it idle. I crawled under the car to listen an thought had a major problem but I found out it was the pulley next to the alternator. I sprayed it with wd-40 and it stoped. Then it will start back. My question is has anybody else had a problem with their alternator pulley making noise? How long can I let this go before something is damaged. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's not the serpentine belt? How many miles on the belt? WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
