Noises problem
2002 Porsche Boxster Two Wheel Drive Automatic 80000 miles

Hello,
My Boxster is making a chirp squeeling noise
and the sound comes from the engine vent.
The noise happens every few minutes
and it doesn't matter at what speed I am
going & if the car is on and in the Park, I can
still hear it. I brought it into the dealer and they
checked it over and can't figure out what is happening. ( I asked if it was a transmission problem as the car is a tiptronic trans. so if that is the
problem it would have to be completely replaced
rather than taken apart and fixed.)
Right now it is just a noise that I don't like,
but would hate for it to mushroom into
something larger.
Not sure if this is helpful or not but I had
the engine's rear main seal done about a year
ago and have had no issues since.
Thanks for your help. There were no fluids
leaking of any kind at the time of inspection.

Has the drive belt ever been changed? at 80k it should be replaced, and will make a chirp like you describe.Also try starting the engine for just a minute with the belt off to see if the noise goes away
