I know this probably sounds like an odd question but starting yesterday my XJ has started making an odd squeaking sound at idle and it really sounds like its coming from the distributor. Once it warms up it goes away, its pretty loud till it goes away though. It runs fine, all the gauges read how they should, and I checked all the fluids and everything is fine. I pulled the distributor cap and the rotor and everything looks fine, just slightly worn but not bad at all. I've never heard anything like this, it almost sounds like a bad bearing or something but its not that high pitched. I really cant describe the sound it makes very well at all or I'd try. It kinda sounds the way I've sometimes heard water pumps, alternators, etc make when they are going out.
If anyone can help me out that would be great, I'm stumped. Also, is there anything else around that area that could make a sound like that--keep in mind it goes away after it warms up.
TIA
