Squeal is back full force. I thought it was oil on the belt. Cleaned everything off after replacing the OFHG and it was gone but now it's back louder (assuming the messy oil was keeping the noise quiet). I don't see any oil leaking. So I'm going to replace the Power Steering pulley which I forgot to replace while I was in there. Hopefully that solves the problem and I don't have to replace the Alternator or AC Compressor just to solve a pulley bearing being noisy. 
Dackelone any thoughts? |
You might want to buy an automotive stethoscope. You can place the end at suspected pulleys to see where the noise is coming from.
