Hi,

The List of Possibilities is nearly endless, especially in trying to diagnose it long-distance.

You will need to do some investigating on your own, or bring it to a shop. If you DIY, remove the front Engine Cover and get a Mechanic's Stethoscope (under $10). Then carefully move the probe around the front of the Motor paying particular attention to the Pulleys, especially the Idler Pulleys. Then take the appropriate remedies. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
