Are the belts tight?

Pull the belts off and see if the noise stops, that's a sure fire way to tell.

Lol lubing the belts.

I'd say you answered your own question. Get new belts, spray the pulleys with degreaser, install new belts, and properly tension the alternator belt.

The bearing that is there, is the tensioner idler pulley on the motor mount plate.
