My car is making a loud noise. when i lifted the hood, the noise comes from the drive belt. is something possibly loose or the belt worn that would cause the noise. thank you.

Hello,

Sounds like either your belt or possibly the belt tensioner.... So try this....

Have can of spray lube in hand....

With vehicle off find tensioner pulley.....

Spray center bolt.....

Start vehicle..... does noise go away for short period if time? if so replace tensioner pulley....
