I think I've narrowed the squeal coming from my engine area down to the WP(Water Pump) Pulley. I wasn't able to find a WP Pulley on Rockauto, haven't checked anywhere else yet but how hard is it to change out the entire water pump?
Reason I ask about changing the entire pump is because the area on the block under the water pump is noticeably darker, like it's been getting wet so is that a sign that my water pump is about to fail? That's part of the reason I'm asking how hard it is to change out since I am sure this is the original WaterPump which is probably about to fail. The squeal has gotten noticeably worse after installing a brand new belt tensioner. And today after removing the belt and spinning every pulley the water pump pulley is the only one with a weird "Whirring" noise when I spin it by hand in either direction.
Sorry if it's a little lengthy.
