Problem on clanking:
Take a look at the flex rubber joint on the drive shaft. It sound like it is cracked and allowing metal to metal. See Universal Flex Disc Also known as a "Guibo" on this site for images

Chirping noise
Check and replace belts, idler and the tensioner as any of the three can cause the noise. My personal bet is on the idler as the shaft wears out and makes a bushing going bad sound like your describing.
Another thought is this part conversion if you still have a mechanical tensioner

There is a German made lube that is designed for the seals. I will look it up and report back.
