I get a very bad squeeking noise coming from the belt area of the engine. I would spray the belt with wd 40 and the noise would go away for a short time and than reappear. I have replaced the belt 3 times now. Each time the noise goes away for around a month and than returns. I first purchased a belt from Auto Zone and when noise returned I than purchased a belt from Ford (OEM) it still returned.
PLEASE HELP
