Default Plz help me I have no clue what’s wrong with my civic!?!?

A few days ago I was driving and my civic started to make a whining like metal on metal sounding noise and I don’t know how or where to start?

check to see if you have motor oil left in the engine/oil pan. There is an orange handle dipstick on the right side once you open the hood.

Whining metal? Does it change more with throttle/revs? I'd check:
  • Alternator
  • Idle pully

Check the AC and Power steering belts, Sometimes the idle pulley can come loose and grind on the crank pulley.
