Morning!
So this week my 05 LX470 started making this fun whine/hum on startup. It is directly tied to rpms. goes up and down with the engine, follows the rpms at shift points etc... It doesn't seem to go away when the engine warms up. I didn't drive it but left it running in my driveway about 20 minutes this morning and the sound was still there. She has just over 200k on the odometer. Timing belt, water pump, crank seal, drive belt and drive belt tensioner were done before I purchased but at a Lexus dealer at 182k miles about 3 years ago. I just had an axle seal fixed and a bunch of fluids baselined at my shop but have had it back for about a month so I don't think that would be related. Anybody have any insights about likely culprits? Thanks for the help!
