Thread: Whining sound from Belt area

Hi,
I have a 2001 GTP, and just recently there has been a whining sound coming from the belt drive area of the motor. I have also noticed a grease type substance that is on the firewall and coolant resivour. Also the sound speeds up when you rev the car up. I have no experience with super chargers. I think it could be just a pulley from my experiences with naturally aspirated engines, but i am not sure. any help would be appreciated.

Probably your power steering pump.

no the coolant level is fine, actually all of the levels are fine.

including the s/c oil?

yes i also checked the s/c oil.

Power steering leak. Check the level of your power steering fluid; I guarantee it's low.

like i said all of the fluid levels are good and the whine is coming from around the pulleys of the belts, and there are no leaks what so ever.

check pully under coil pack. mine frozed up i didnt relize it untill the belt broke. it was wining before it broke.

there is a slight whine, but it gets louder as you rev up the motor

stock pulley results in ZERO whine at idle.

No it doesnt sound like that i will try and download what it sounds like.

My friends gtp was doing the same whine noise and it wasnt from the sc and it would be a quite whine at idle and get lower as he mildly accelerated he was low on power steering fluid too but he never fixed the problem but i said it prob was the power steering pump
