Water Pump ?

Im getting a small I guess you can call it a chirping coming from the front of the engine, Not sure if its the water pump, power steering, idler wheel. Do the make strange noises when they are going bad, there is no water coming from the pump at all, not sure if the noise is coming from the pump.

Guess I could just take of some belts.

Usually it's one of the idler pulleys... you can repack the bearings.

So yes... time for you to inspect.

Well....I only have one idler pulley left, its the one for the Power steering pump, I just recently replaced that one with a like new one, same noise, the noise isnt loud, but its there. Guess its time to pull some belts. I remember when I was 17 I had to pull all the belts off of a old 1970s Buick Land Yacht , must of had 6 or 7 belts, what a mess. But I got it all back together, this should be a snap ( hopefully ).

Follow up,
I replaced my water pump, and both belts, and the noise went away, so it was either the pump
or one of the belts, guess I will never know. But the noise is gone, Yippie
