Remove the belt, check all pulleys, and give close inspection to the tensioner. They are notorious for squeaking/leaking. Also, a better belt may help, like Gates or Goodyear. Does the sound only happen at start up or all the time? Is your car still under warranty?

Do not put WD 40 on your belt. It is a band aid.

thanks folks.

yeah.. WD40 is not a good idea at all, the reason it stops the noise is not because the belt isn't slipping, its because the belt now is lubricated, so the slip wont make noise.. bad idea!
