could be a few things...check for a coolant leak....could be some fluid on the belt. Also could be a bearing in the accessory drivetrain chirping....could be the belt...or it could be the water pump pully (there is a TSB or SSM on it....) Make sure your belt isnt fraying at either edge...that would indicate teh pulley needs to be replaced as well.

Mine started doing this the morning after I had the first service/oil change at the dealer. I just assumed there were some fluids spilled during service??? I'll look into this further.
