My approach to this would be to get a mechanic's stethescope and listen to the bearings on all the items at the front of the engine.

I'll bet one or more of the idler pulleys for either the serpentine belt or the timing belt is demanding attention.

The top plastic cover will need to come off to check the timing belt pulleys.

Don't ignore this as a belt failure can ruin the engine. The timing belt cause is obvious as this is an interference engine. There has been at least one report here on this site of a serpentine belt break getting into the timing belt area and causing it to fail.

Belt dressing is for old fashion leather belts as used on old farm and industrial equipment. It won't renew a dried out old rubber belt.
