I have what sounds like a whirring-squealing kind of noise coming from right around the alternator pulley on my '86 744. It subsides once the car is well warmed up but I do a lot of short hops and stop and go driving so the car is driven not completely warmed up a lot. Any ideas? I suspect belts, which I could replace, or the bushings that support the alternator. The noise is not terribly loud but is very obvious when you open the hood, and it seems to be loudest right by the alternator.

Thanks.
