I have what appears to be moisture below the thermostat housing but with the engine running I see nothing. While idling I hear a very high pitched noise/squeek from the belt side of the engine. Sometimes its louder than other times. When I accelerate it goes away. In August Nissan replaced the idler pulley. Could it be that? From this can you suggest a diagnosis please?
