2000 Pontiac Bonneville Engine Size unknown Front Wheel Drive Automatic 115000 miles

Ive been told that the noise my car is making is either the serpentine belt or one of the pulleys. Any idea on how much it will cost to repair these? also, i recently had to replace the intake manifold gasket because it was leaking oil, the car smells like its burning oil after it runs a while. could this just be oil on the inside that leaked from before or does this sound like another problem?

Need to find the problem before associating costs.

Spray a thin lube on the belt breifly while it's running. If the noise stops, it may just need a belt. If not, the pulley need to be narrowed down. Hopefully it isn't the serpentine belt tensioner that is going bad as it is pricy. I would gues in the $200-400 range if I recall.
