2016 Ford F-150 3.5 Ecoboost 4x4 - 44,350 miles has a chirping\leaf in the fan noise coming from the drive's side while cold during acceleration, once warm the noise goes away. Any idea what this could be?

I was leaning more towards an exhaust manifold leak, but wasn't sure.

belt most likely, maybe a pulley dry or a water pump bearing
but most likely belt

Dampen a rag with armor all and crank the truck. Find a safe place to apply the rag to the belt. Listen as your chirping goes away. Now drive to the auto parts store and get a new belt, replace the one that’s on there and keep it as a spare.

My 2018 has done that since it was new

Engine Chirping Noise
The “Ecoboost Chirp”. Better google it then trade that sucker in in the morning. Once they start chirping they have less than 200 miles before they lock up. Something to do with a cross threaded oil filler cap sucking in air and queefing it out. Hence the chirp.

This is the Air Filter of a friend of my wife. Squirrels ate an opening in the Duct Hose and were saving for a cold day. By the way, car is a daily driver.22119.jpg

Need to sell that to the service advisor at a dealership! They can use it on display why you need their overpriced filters.

That's just nuts.
