Noisy pulley? What else?

Noisy pulley? What else?
Hey guys, I want to see if anyone else can help steer me in the right direction before I throw any parts at it. I tried taking a quick video to get a sample of the 2 distinct noises that I hear clearly in person, but we'll see if you can pick it up. The loudest noise I believe is a pulley (whirl.whirl.whirl). The other noise i've picked up is closer to a constant bumble bee. (zzzzzzzz)
I've got a slow oil leak that I believe is coming from the front crank seal. Could they be related in that the oil leak is causing the front crank pulley to be noisey? Tensioner or bearing?
This is the '99 DII.
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, my noise from primarily from the tensioner pulley, but the two idler pulley's were also making some noise and on the way out. I bought the set from AB for $130 and installed all three and it now runs OH SO QUIET!
Taking the belt off and spinning each pulley did not help me in this case, couldn't hear anything. I tracked it down with it running and using a mechanics stethoscope ($7 from HarborFr) and it was quite obvious which were making the racquet.
Swapping in the new pulley's was a breeze...take off the belt and loosen 1 bolt for each pulley! Thanks for the help!
