i have a screaching noise coming from the from the front of the engine area i guess this could be the water pump ,,the serpintine belt looks ok ,,could it also be the belt adjuster pulley ?

did you try pouring water on the belt with the engine running to see if the screeching stops? I had a screeching noise that we thought was a pulley, the belt looked fine, but it ended up being the belt...

Most likely the belt idler tensioner. Very common in these engines throughout the GM lineup.
