My car (98 duratec 2.5L V6, 61 K miles) is making a high pitch whinning noise which is coming from somewhere in the engine. It seems to be coming from the driver's side but it is hard to tell.
This only happens during the hottest parts of the day when i start the car and begin to drive at low speed. It goes away after a couple of minutes and it goes away with higher rpms. It happens with the AC off.
After reading several posts here, i am thinking it might be a loose water pump belt but I thought i'd ask. Any help would be appreciated!!
