Air Leak

[sky-017]

hey guys ... little problem - my car seams to making a whistling noise after i start it up . after 5 - 10 mins ill let it run - it comes along with a whistling noise - which then turns into a screaching noise....

happens mainly when i give it a hard boost . then come back and let it idle. she starts the noise asap. car feels a little different when driving , not as powerfull or responsive. the leak is comming from the drivers side by the sounds of it... would anyone have any idea where it could be , im stuck... it must be a vacume hose or something...

help would be appreciated.

a gasket most likely.

if it were a gasket - where exactly would i be looking? it really sounds like its a vacume hose which seizes up when the car is at running temps.

um best bet might be to just let it idle then listen closely and see if you can diagnose from there without hearing it or being in the car its hard to diagnose

If it is happening at idle grab a can of aerostart.

With the car idling and using the nozzle extension so you get a clear stream, spray each area/part in turn. If the idle increases you are in the right area. Narrow it down from there.

(just in case this makes no sense aerostart is really flammable and will effectively be a fuel boost if sucked into the engine under vacuum at idle)
