Sounds like you have a bearing ready to fail.

One trick for belts, take a bar of soap and with the engine running, hold the soap against the belt. If the noise stops, you have a belt tension problem. If the noise continues, you have a bearing issue.

And, if you want your engine compartment to momentarily smell better, use a deodorant soap. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
