If the squeaking is near the front, it could be from the belts
& or pulleys. The belts may be old & glazed, loose of have oil on them.
Another strong possibility would be the water pump is going bad. That may also
be accompanied by a coolant leak from the water pump area & or running hot.
Putting a couple of drops of oil in each of the generator cups would be a good
idea also.

(BKFD CA)
the car has been sitting at a lot for a while. i pestered the
guy from
august to april to get it. a few test drives here and there but it
mostly
sat. the yellow ignition wire under the dash above the brake pad is
loose
and causes the car not to turn over unless you giggle it a little. a
week
before i got it i did a test drive. a little white smoke came out the
pipes
but only for a few seconds. once it was on the street it seemed
strong. a
little was coming from under the hood but only thin like
burining an incense
stick so i wasn't worried. i ran it all last weekend(
at least 50 miles or
so), even on the highway. it leaks oil in two
spots. at the intake manifold
on the driver's side (gasket i guess) and on
the back near the middle of the
firewall where it meets the 727. this
was weird too. the white smoke i
thought was coming from the block is
actually trans fliud dripping off from
the dip stick. i pulled over
today and it seemed to spew up from the dip
stick cylinder and drip onto
the headers and smoke. well i hope thats the
only area fliud is coming out
from. the oil on the back of the block triclke
its way around the bottom of
the pan where the 727 meets and drips off. its
lost half a quart
maybe. sunday the engine started squeeking. it was faint
at first. i
was gassing it up at walmart. periodically, it would stop,
then
start. it is faint once i'm in gear and moving. today is was louder.
maybe
cuz of the oil leak i dont know. i thought i was the belts, the
pulley, or
possibly The manifold heat control valve. if anybody can
give me
suggestions, that would be
great
