The thought crossed my mind about the belt, but not sure if it's the original belt as i havent been able to get a good look at it yet, and to answer your other question im sitting at 130,000

Sounds like the belt to me too. Z_ealot, have you tried spraying belt dressing on it in order to rule it out?

remove the belt (while cold) and turn and feel each pulley,,also ck. for play...feel for rough or excessively loose bearings..listen closely.
also-you may want to use a factory Nissan Belt-as some other's may not go in grooves properly & still make noise.

Well i did go ahead and spray a little pb blaster lubricant on the power steering pulley, seems to have quieted it down, but i will see what happens after giving the engine a few hours to cool down, probably will be stopping by the nissan dealer to pick up a belt sometime this week

better call and see if they stock one; our dealership had to order one for me & also had to order my factory wiper blades.

If you are on the original belt at 130,000, then you're way overdue replacing it.

Here's the one that I bought. $30 cheaper than my dealer.

For those that don't want to read and are into making assumptions, this is a Nissan belt, not an aftermarket.
