Noise coming from what I suspect to be one of the pulleys. Any thoughts?

Now that you have three posts you should be able to post the videos. Please do so in this thread.

For sure a accessory bearing failing.......wag= idler pulley or water pump.

Gonna have to have a shop check it out though....sources are anything the belt is turning. The Cruze is not notorius for any specific bearing failure....an idler here or there, a few A/C compressors.....that reminds me....is the sound the same with the A/C turned on?

I'll have to check in the morning but having any direction to start looking is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

AC doesn't affect the sound. Looked under the hood to see where the sound was coming from and saw this bearing leaking. I've been having a burning oil smell previous to this issue that my mechanic couldn't find. I went to my local dealership to have a uv dye added to the system and will be returning on Monday to find any other prominent leaks.

The assembly in your photo is the water pump and, yes, bearings within it have failed along with many seal (coolant leak) failures.
The pump has failed enough to have had its warranty extended to 10 years, 150k miles.

AC compressor bearing is seizing. Oil pan is leaking. Oil filter housing is leaking. Transmission cooler lines are leaking.

THIS is where extended warranties earn their keep.....hope you have one.....sounds like it's gonna be pricey.

Had the AC fixed at the shop I frequent for 650. The oil filter housing, trans cooler lines, and the oil pan are projects I plan to do myself. Anyone have a link to some videos or currently open threads for these d.i.y? Oil filter housing is the major leak of the three which is causing the smell I'd bet.

My friends father has a garage on his property I can use with a lift and most of what I'll need. He just didn't have the vacuum or pump for the refrigerant on the AC repair.

Gotta be the first filter housing I've read of as a leak source.

Incorrect placement of the 'O' ring on the cap..... a few, but never the housing.

Keep us in the loop on that one.

That's what the stealership told me. I didn't find this myself.
