Rotating/ clicking noise from tensioner

So I have this annoying clicking noise coming from the tensioner/pulley area. I remove the right wheel and fender line to check and I see that the big pulley ( which I assume is the crank pulley?) is wobbling a bit. The other pulleys seem pretty stable. The is causing the oil pan/gasket to vibrate as well. Anyone got experience with this problem? Here`s a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH240ps2m2Q

Sorry can't view the video at work. So here are some links and guesses as to situation. This link has good pictures of the area and deals with belt replacement.
Determine if it is the belt tensioner or the crank pulley. If you need a crank pulley check out the ATI at WMW
