My car is making a squeaking sound when i first start it in the morning, i think the sound made around this area, i've searched about it and i didn't think the belt was wobbling. and the car is also smoking some oil. does anyone have an idea about this? please give me a respond. thanks.

Cant tell much from the pic but inspect the OFHG for leaks. The oil leaks on the serpentine belt, which could be causing the noise. If it is, get it rectified ASAP, as the belt can slip off and get sucked into the front main seal.

You'll want to change both. But make sure thats the issue - dont want to lead you on a wild goose chase. But if it is, whether you do this job yourself or have a shop do it, make sure the engine is primed after the OFH is removed/replaced, prior to firing.

I don't quite understand by the word the engine is primed, and also does this thing could be the reason my exhaust is smoking?

Apologies. Make sure the engine is turned over (not started) to build adequate oil pressure.

Thank you so much for the response!
I hope this could help to stop my car from squeaking and smoking!
