Thank you chaissos! I don’t know where the compressor is located:-)…I can tell you it does appear to be comming from the right-front side of the engine compartment. Other than that all I know at when it cycles on, I hear the noise. Also, the AC runs seemingly as well as it ever has.
I hope it is just a belt…I live in Florida, so I don’t have much of an option:-). I will just drive it and on my next oil change take it in to my mechanic to have him take look? Fortunately, he is really honest…he has had plenty of opportunity to do unnecessary work on another car and has been honest.
Thank you again…if you any more advice, I am all ears!
