Mainly when i just start it up or when i drive through standing water in the road. Anyone else have this problem? Also is it anything to be concerned with? 2000 Mercury Mystique http://www.cardomain.com/ride/598422

May be good to put that in your signature. It could be the serpentine belt. Check to see if it is frayed. Might want to change it if it hasn't been changed in four years or so.

I was in an accident and they replaced alot of stuff up front and I think where the stock air damn was they put in some kind of black shield that is almost flush with the underbody. Could this be it?
