Pulley's Making Noise

It seems like either my Power Steering or Water pump pulley is making a loud noise. Ive sprayed it with WD-40 and it didnt do anything. I just replaced the belt and belt tensioner afew months ago. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Its probably not the pully probably the pump themself. Probably going to have to replace them. I would lean toward your water pump first

See if there any play up in down on the water pump. If any play it will need to be replaced. Water pumps are under 35.00 . also check weep hole for leaks

Thanks for all the advise guys, i drove the car today about 40 miles and the noise has gone away, im hoping it was just because it was 30 degrees yesterday.
