Engine sounds like a pigeon at idle
I'm not sure if this is normal or not but I'm paranoid about things going wrong on this car. After the engine starts to warm up I hear it coming from the front of the engine but I can't pinpoint the exact location. I noticed that a couple of pulleys are a little wobbley so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Also, I have an oil leak from the timing belt area so maybe some engine sounds are coming from an improperly placed seal? Should I be concerned about this?
No, you know how a pigeon makes that low pitched trill sound. It's just like that. It can't be a belt because all the belts are only 5 months old. A blauparts full timing belt kit was actually put on 5 months ago.
I'm sure they'll say that they'd have to take a look in the timing belt area to see where the oil is leaking from which means a lot of things to take apart. I'd probably be looking in to more than $30 unfortunately. I'll try to get a sound clip with my phone if I remember.
