Oil in the tensioner? Its just a spring and a wheel for the belt, where does the oil go? Is there a canister? Makes no sense to me.

It is a canister that has a hydraulic cylinder in it like a shock. It is not serviceable
It's oil dampened and they fail on a regular basis. Easy to change though

OK update on the belt tensioner and whirling noise
The tension is leaking but the noise is from the water pump both are being replaced
