Whistlin' as we drive

I've developed a whistling noise when the accelerator is slightly pushed. At first I thought it was an electrical noise, but with a little experience in that area, I ruled that out pretty quickly.

Next, a vacuum leak... Nope, not that.

It's the Crank pulley belt. I can spray it with dressing (It seems to prefer thousand island..) and it quietens the whistle down to a bird chirp when I pull on the accelerator linkage.

My question is, Am I looking at a new Crank Pulley? The belt is only 3 months old and looks great.

I cut the AC belt off with a pair of scissors, so it's not the compressor. Why did I cut it off? I think I was mumbling something like: "hmmm.. Maybe this will shut your a$$ up."

The alternator is fairly new.

Anyway, is this the beginning sign of a bad crank pulley?
