Pulley Squeak
A&A blown C5 is developing a squeaky pulley.
Which pulley, if any, would continue to squeak for a 2-3 seconds after the key is removed from the ignition?
I haven't done heavy investigation, but my ears from next to the car make it clear that it is not the blower itself. Likely not the alternator. Seems to be more centrally located, like an idler, but I am not 100% certain yet.
Do I need to go buy one of those stethoscopes to figure this one out?

I'll get down to the shop tomorrow and take an in-depth look.
Since I will likely have to replace a pulley and dismount the belt, I went ahead and ordered the newer Gates RPM belt to upgrade over my DayCo.
