2001 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

i just got a 2001 ford taurus and it runs great. When I picked it up I put some radiator flush in it and taped off all other fluids and drove home. A day later I flushed the radiator and fill it with fresh antifreeze. Now a squel has started. It gets louder as the motor reves and doesent go away. The noise sound like its comming from the water pump area. So I soaked the area with belt dressing. It stoped for a little wile but its back now. And the belt looks new. Theres no cracks or anything.

Could antifreeze gotten on belt? Cause that is some sliper stuff. It may take some time to wear off.

Some may have got on it. Some one told me the flush I put in it could have hurt the water pump. Is that true.

Flush does not hurt water pumps the bearing is sealed and does not come in contact with coolant.
Might need to pull belt clean it and pullies. If belt dressing took noise away then pump good.
