At nearly 10 PM the car is making some sort of noise from the front end, and it hasn't been driven since noon. I've checked twice in an hour and it still makes that sound.
1995 Subaru Legacy wagon. I've owned it for a year and have no history since it was a private sale.
I'm not a mechanic and am fairly naive as to the names of things I can see. That being said, the noise is coming from the engine compartment from a metal blocklike component in the very front passenger side. In my old Ford Crown Vic this was the location of the AC unit.
The noise sounds like a small motor running, has a mechanical cyclical whine to it, but I suppose it could also be interpereted as a hiss as well. I don't know what it could be, and I don't have any mechanically inclined friends who would have any better ideas, the mechanic is closed until Monday.
Anyone have this happen before?
