I have a 2000 explorer xls with a 4.0 efi. It has an intermittant squeal coming from the rear top of the engine. What is it? It has 90,000 miles. There are no service lights and the vehicle runs fine.

Squeal like a slipping belt?

Kinda. It sounds like a belt but I am not aware of any belts on the back of an engine.

Does it increase loudness when wheels are turned with vehicle running but it park? If so its time for a belt adjustment. If not well have to narrow it down
