I then put a brand new belt *yes a 3rd belt* on the car, fired it up, drove down the road and in less than 100 feet the belt squeak was there. I think I can now eliminate oil leaking on the belt because if there was oil leaking on the belt, would it not take a few miles at least to build back up on the belt?
I'm at a loss.

Have you tried using a LONG screw driver, put it on or near each pulley... and carefully place your ear on the other end. Or get some mechanic's stethoscope. It's gotta be one of those pulleys, or AC compressor or PS pump.
Maybe take the belt off(Again!) and turn each pulley by hand and listen for any bearing noises.
There are tools that can
help pinpoint a misaligned pulley...
