Engine makes loud whooshing sound when starting cold. Getting worse, like air escaping or pressure leak somewhere. Only lasts for seconds. Been doing this for 6 months.

Hello,

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak or a serpentine belt that is dry. Here is a guide to help check for the vacuum leak and to change the belts.

Hi there,

If you can post your engine type, I will be able to have a better idea as to what your problem may be. But I would be checking engine oil pressure first, do this with a master gauge. If the oil pressure is ok, start looking at external items as well, alt, water pump etc.
