Okay so my 1995 Nissan pathfinder stated making a funny noise last week.
At first I thought I burned the tranny up.
But now I dont think so.I played around in the Wal-Mart parking lot for a hour and I notice my power steering fluid was a little low.But it doesnt make the noise when I turn the wheel.The noise by the way is a louder squel(but not like alt bearings)It does it when ever the engine is running no matter the gear.Also the trannys a auto and the engine is the v-6.Then I went looking at the belts.I noticed that the power steering belt was hot to the touch and it left melted rubber on my hand(I'm pretty sure this is the problem).So I attached it with Belt Dressing and it stopped for about 5 seconds.So now I was pissed and went home.To day I lossend the belt and its worse.The belt is a good year Gater back by the way.So I'm thinking its the belt.The belt was new(yeah I dont think so...screwed again) about 10,000 miles ago when I had new cam seals and timing belt installed.
So y'all think the belts bad or could it be a bearing.Also it took me 30 minutes to figure out how to loosen the belt to beginning with(god I love Shushi power ).The belt also wasnt lose to begine with.I'm confused and cant wait till summer so I can drive my 'maro again.
I would love any help on the subject.

Belts don't just melt, that's not the problem, my money is on PS pump/pulley.
