Default Annoying squeaks!

Hi guys, first timer here. I have a problem with my 97 grand Cherokee orvis v8 5.2L. There is this annoying squeaking that seems to come from the front of the jeep, I have a new belt and a new power steering pump. I think it might be the fan but I want to be sure. The squeak continues and gets louder and fast as I go. Nothing seems to work, tried lubricant, and just straight spraying it with water. Water seems to make it go away till it dries. And ideas guys?
