Default Name this squeek (video)

Sounds like a cricket. You can hear it good at the beggining, but get quite as the car warms up.

Sounds like a squeaky pulley to me.. Take the belt off and crank her over and see if the squeak goes away.

Go around and double check all the header bolts. Chances are...a bolt loosened up a little if it's leaking there.

I would also try what waterbug suggested. It's hard to tell for sure on a video. Good luck with it.

I'd guess pulley. The sound, to me, seems to be more rhythmic with the engine's movement as opposed to in rhythm with the exhaust events.

Spray some WD-40 on the belt at idle and see what happens. That'll rule it out right there.

Pulley, start spraying a little wd on each one till it goes away and replace that one. Don't spray too much or the belt will spread it from one to another. On street cars the AC ones go first cuz they are lower and tend to get washed out in wet weather.
