2008mustang v6 belt squeek

[eternal bloom]

Considering that it's coming from around a solid pipe, I would guess it's power steering fluid. See if that pipe goes to your power steering pump. Also, does it feel slimy?

[radiant forge]

yea kinda slimy like oil almost

theres a cap that goes on it i just took it off for the photo if that changes anything

[radiant forge]

Its for the ac

Ok that makes sense. Your AC system has both refrigerant and oil in it. Could be the oil leaking around some failed gaskets. If it were my car, I wouldn't really care much. Although you could try to figure out which connection the leak is coming from and put some RTV / gasket maker around it.

While it's difficult to say, I would guess the squeak is from that oil on the belt. I had my water pump fail once before and the coolant spraying on the belt caused a pretty noticeable squeal.

ok i think ill replace the gasket since its cheap but that pipe is no where close to the belt where oil would get on it

Look up how it is done, because u might have to drain your refrigerant

And that stuff is dangerous, I did mine without a problem fully suited up, but be careful if u have too

It doesn’t leak as much per say as the ps, so I would double check

My guess is ps

If it is fluid causes the squeak

When was your belt replaced @radiant forge

[radiant forge]

I put a half inch one smaller then stock on it a month ago and that stopped it for awhile but now it’s back

@high trail

Also have already replaced the tensioner

And it’s mostly the 1500rpm range sometimes idle

And it’s not always it’s random when it happens

That was my first guess. But the pipe was far from the ps lines based on the (now removed) photo.
