clicking noise from passenger side of engine in belts area. Only when hot after a while and only in drive mode (automatic transmission) not in neutral while standing still stopped. Intensifies if turn on air or fan. Is this a problem known?

Sounds like a driven component bearing/belt tensioner-start at the alternator
