I tried to find another thread to bump or to look off of. No luck.

Here is what happened...

After work today I was driving home, and I heard a winding noise coming from about the middle of my engine bay. When I speed up it gets louder. When I slow down it gets softer. I push the clutch in, but it doesn't effect the noise. I pulled over to check it out, but didn't hear anything. There was a little bit of the CV axle fluid on the middle of the firewall -- driver side. I checked the boot and it's not torn, so there probably is a leak somewhere.

I started to drive some more. The noise sounded really bad with the acceleration, so I pulled over and shut the car off and looked in the engine bay. I noticed some snow on the passenger lower arm in the bay. I brushed it off and made sure my axles were fine. Then I started driving once more.

There was no more noise this last time. But I know that it didn't fix itself. I don't have anything to look for anymore and need to know what it could have been, so I can fix it before it comes back. What should I do?

I let my car warm up every time before I drive it, so the problem wouldn't be a cold engine, would it?

Thanks H-T

112,000 on a 92 Civic Si all stock. Just did a complete tune up with water pump, and everything you can think of.

I had a throwout bearing do this to me once. I dunno if thats it. Just something that had happened to me. Hope that helped. How is your clutch.

Just barely replaced my clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, throwout bearing spring, tranny fluid, and tranny output gaskets.

Thanks anything else??

 

Check your front bearings. Look for any small tears very carefully in your axle boot, since you stated it was on your firewall.
