If they got oil on the belt that could cause it to squeal. Take a look at your belt and see if you see any signs of oil on it. If you do thats prolly whats causing it.

its probably oil, but the other common thing is the a/c clutch adjustment, try turning in the a/c and see if it goes away, if not its likely the belt

My guess is the water pump bearing is out and the impeller is shaving away at the front cover until the water pump "locks up" and kicks off the belt.

Take the belt off and see if the WP pulley wobbles.

I don't think she said anything about it kicking off the belt ... just squealing. Doesn't hurt to check, but usually when the water pump gets to that point there will be coolant coming out the relief port.
