Squeaking in/around engine

There is this squeaking noise in the engine for maybe 4-5 minutes when i start up my car. It's a 1998 Mustang GT. I'm thinking it's probably the belt. Any ideas/solutions?

If it goes away when you spray some belt dressing on it you'll know it's coming from the belt. Mustang's the easiest car I've ever changed a belt on BTW.

Mine does that every morning. I cleaned all the pulleys, put on a brand new belt and it still sqeaks until it gets warmed up. I think its the belt itself. Pulleys are fairly new.
