whistling noise?
My 94 gpx manual has started making a loud whistling noise when it's cold. It goes away once it's warmed up a bit (15-20min of driving) and doesn't seem to be affecting the performance at all.
Any ideas what it might be? I'm not getting any warning lights and there's no sign of leaks.
It just sounds like air is rushing through somewhere it shouldn't be so could it just be that some seals need replacing or something like that?
It's going in for a service in the next week or so, so I'd like to have some idea what needs doing before hand.

I've got the same thing with my exhaust.
Probably a leak somewhere or if it's in the engine bay it might be a bearing somewhere. Don't ignore it, it could get worse.

Had it serviced and they reckon it's probably the power steering pump, just waiting on a new handbrake cable to come in first then they're going to find out for sure.
