03 G35 Coupe
2003 G35 Coupe (automatic) -132k miles
No major problems before this. Burns oil moderately quick, but I regularly check and top off with regular synthetic oil changes. Store during the winter. I noticed this noise about a month and a half ago, but only on cold mornings and would only last about a second. If the radio was on or you weren’t paying attention, you wouldn’t even notice. For a couple weeks it didn’t make the noise, and I initially thought it was because it was warmer. The car sat for a week without starting because I was away. Once I started it again, the noise started and never stopped. It gets a little louder while accelerating, but generally the same as idle. As I said, it’s constant now. I haven’t driven it since the day it became constant, and only took it around the block and turned back home because I didn’t want to damage anything further. During the drive, the transmission seemed fine. Oil level was a little low but nothing alarming and I noticed some built up oil residue below the engine. I’ve attached a video because I haven’t found a post similar to my problem. I’m going to have it towed to a shop tomorrow, but want to have an idea of the problem before the car gets there because I am not mechanically knowledgeable.
Note: Belt Tensioner/Pulley replaced about 10k miles ago
