check by feeling how tight your belt is if it is tight there is nothing wrong with your tensioner also it would be squealing if it wasnt tight enough

Im pretty sure the oil pump is gear driven. I know the hpop is

well the belt is squealing all the time not loud tho

both oil pumps are driven internally with gears. Is it a squeal or a chirp that goes away when you rev above idle?

it is a chirp and will not go away.
