Before anyone says it, I did a pan drop when I got the car due to an oil light. Screen was 90% blocked. Cleaned it up, inspected the bearings and journal and they looked good. Put it back together with the correct sealant, did the pcv update #6 and filled with full synthetic 5w40. Seemed as if I saved the engine.
Basically, when I first start her up in the morning and start driving I hear a slight whine for maybe a minute and after she heats up it goes away (pretty quickly). From what I can tell it doesn't make the whining when idle and the car drives fine. I do suspect my water pump is going (leaking a bit from below), could this be a cause for the whine? Anything else that would whine on a cold start and then the rest of the day it's fine? Really stumped here, trying not to panic about an oil pressure issue...it was only about 6k miles ago that I cleaned the screen and it was spotless.
Looking for any guidance from you guys as to what this could be. Please, help me relax!!:o
