It started out as a squeaking sound but was soft and went on for weeks, when it got louder I thought maybe the fanbelt...Last few days it was making a terrible sound when I started the engine then it went away. It went away completely for a few days. I just drove a short drive home slowly and the sound was very loud under the bonnet and oil or something oily has leaked out. The leak stopped after I stopped the car but left a trail. Any ideas how serious this might be? Will get a mechanic to come and look at it as I'm afraid to drive it. The car is a 90's model Hyundai, never any trouble before and serviced recently.
The very loud sound it now makes sounds like it could be friction. It made a whole array of alarming sounds, when I opened the hood there was liquid on some parts as well, not sure how it got there but maybe oil leaking on a belt and being flung up?
