    I'm getting some sqweaks coming from the engine compartment. What's the best way to pin point where it's coming from? I replaced the idler pully but didn't help much. It mostly happens on initial start and once the engine is warm it goes away. The belts have 60K on them, 171K total miles. The sound doesn't change with engine rpm it that matters.


    Thanks.

    belts can look fine on the back side but the grooves can be worn and start slipping so replace the belts and the squeak will be gone.
