There is this stange noise coming from my timing belt / power steering pump area. I know my pump must be going bad or maybe my hose since there is a leak. But the noise seems to get worse every day and i am worried that it is my timing belt rubbing on the side of the covers.

Can anyone tell me what the characteristics of a rubbing timing belt would be? I hope im just being paranoid and its just the p/s pump going bad.

Its like a whining sound that I cant pinpoint where its coming from, but its in that area and i have my ear very close lol.

What does a bad p/s pump sound like??

So anyone offer some help?
