Default Sqeaking until engine gets hot...

2002 LS1 camaro is sqeaking until the engine gets good and warmed up. It doenst happen in the morning when it's cool outside, but about lunch time or when it's 80 degrees out, there is a sqeak. I thought it was my exhaust sqeaking, but I've been under the car while it's making noise, and can't find anything that is loose. It sounds like it is coming out the exhaust. And it isn't a belt, it doesn't come from the engine bay... Hmmm, any ideas?

Your engine is secretly powered by mice
Does it follow engine RPM?

Checked engine mounts for sagging?

I have a 02 Ram Air. Yesterday it stated this also. On cold start ups i get a squeek. Mine sounds like it is a small noise from the engine. Buuuut when you walk to the back of he car it is loud and sounds like it is coming from the exhaust. LOUD. When it runS for minutE or two it stops Oil pressure is usually at 60 PSI. When it warms up it drops to BOUT 50 psi. That part is not bad considering i just rolled 160k. Almost everythin is stock on it. Never had any problems. Water pump and the darm VATS system. Both of those was easyfixes. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED..

My 99 ls1 sometimes does this at idle ,haven't checked it and don't mind since it goes away...I'm sure it's just a pully... On the other hand my 383 lt1 z28 started doing this squeak like sound and wouldint go away,the more u rev the louder it would get.. Turned out to be a header bolt loose ..

A PCV valve can emit a squeaking sound.
