Grinding squealing noise coming from engine BUT motor has oil.

Recently discovered a fresh oil leak coming from passenger-side front-end of motor near where the radiator hose connects, next to the distributor. Now there's a grinding squealing noise coming from the motor when at idle. Wondering if the oil pump just died. Got any clues what this might be?

    The oil leak is coming from the rubber end cap of the exhaust camshaft. And the squealing noise sounds like it's coming from underneath the valve/cylinderhead cover. I hope it's not the camshaft bearings.

It may be a slipping belt. Spray a mist of WATER on each belt and see if the sound changes. Belt may be loose or one of the belt driven devices locking up.

SOURCE: my abs light stays on although breaking seems

It sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing and you should have that checked.I would also check the passenger side as well.If you jack the vehicle so the front tire comes off the ground and try to move it from the top and bottom of the tire with a push pull type motion you will notice some movement if the bearing is getting pretty bad but sometimes when it is bad you might not feel it at all.If this is the case you will have to bring it somewere to get it diagnosed.
